Quant Insight has launched an institutional grade analytics product to empower retail traders in Europe and the Middle East.

Mahmood Noorani, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer for Quant Insight, commented: “Key information moves markets. It’s all connected and overwhelming and it is impossible for the human brain to parallel process all this data and information. Institutional investors have always had access to cutting edge technology, tools and resources such as Qi. However, the trend towards democratisation is accelerating and the launch of iQbyQi designed for individual traders is another key marker on that path.
“iQbyQi, has levelled the playing field, offering retail traders a real opportunity to make better investment decisions. Individual investors now have access to a new level of insight and analysis backed by AI, machine learning and data science. Armed with this unique insight into the macro-forces driving asset prices, individual investors will be better equipped to identify key market opportunities and risks. This is a far cry from the myriad of subjective, conflicting, and often confusing opinions and comments that flood retail investors every minute.”
