Here, Gary Collier, CTO at Man Group, touches upon the company’s most recent data focused product called Arctic DB.

Man Group is a leading global investment management firm, specialising in alternative investment strategies. They offer a diverse range of investment solutions to institutional and private investors worldwide.

“There’s lots of data from the outside world that might give us an insight into the behaviour of a financial market … Regardless of the form the data takes when it comes in from the outside world, it might be numeric tables, text documents or anything.”

“We call Arctic DB a data frame database, and what it does is it allows our investment professionals to interact with data frames in a seamless fashion. That’s presenting it simply, it does lots of clever stuff behind the scenes that are tuned to some of the problems within our industry.”
