Our take

Behavioural bias can have a profound, and often negative, impact on investment decisions. Essentia Analytics leverages behavioural analytics to remove bias in the investment process.

The company's combination of analytics and coaching empowers fund managers to capture better data, and turn it into actionable insights. This approach has proven highly popular among professional investors looking to improve performance and return. Northern Trust has recently taken a significant stake in the company, which is testament to the value of their platform.

Behavioural analytics in fund management is a relatively new idea, but Essentia's technology has had especial success among younger managers. However, the company will need to expand their demographic if they are to compete in the high stakes asset market.
