HedgeAlytix is an Internet domain owned by WaterTower Research, an independent data collection and analysis service and the successor to Cogent Investment Research LLC, the owner and operator of the original CogentHedge platform. This platform is in the process of being transformed and transitioned into HedgeAlytix, which will offer a new take on hedge fund analytics. Building on the fifteen year experience of the former CogentHedge.com, HedgeAlytix will take the Intelligent Tools for Informed Decisions pioneered by its predecessor and transform them into the precision interactive instruments required in this new world. They will provide an enhanced level of insight while maintaining the friendly "what you see is what you get" feel of the original platform.HedgeAlytix.com is run by financial professionals with several decades of experience in various aspects of the alternative investment community. While the qualitative and quantitative aspects of hedge fund analysis are well represented internally, the actual nitty-gritty of application development and programming, data base management systems and network technical support services is sub-contracted to highly skilled specialists in these fields.HedgeAlytix has been designed to operate at a low “burn rate”. As they transition to a subscription model to defray development and operating expenses, they fully intend to maintain their platform’s position as the only affordable research resource for investors in alternative investments. Subscription charges therefore will be kept as low as possible to still allow us to pay their bills. They are committed to this business and expect to be here for the long haul (and having been providing their investment research services for 14+ years so far, they already qualify as “long haul”). To make that happen, they intend to stay fast and accurate; ergo, their current technology. Their goal is to provide the most comprehensive data base of alternative strategy investments available to the hedge fund industry and ALL qualified investors. They are working within a modest business model with rational expectations. But they also are confident that they are continuing to build the better mousetrap.
