What Quant Insight does

Quant Insight Limited is a London-based quantitative analytics firm founded in 2014 that builds macro factor risk models and cross-asset valuation analytics for institutional investors. The company's flagship product, the Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM), decomposes daily equity returns for 18,000+ securities into macro-driven and idiosyncratic components using Partial Least Squares Regression, with output also available as the Macro Risk Pulse (MRP) regime indicator and the Macro Share of Risk (MSR) portfolio risk decomposition. A complementary Macro Valuation Engine computes macro-implied fair value across equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities, surfacing fair value gaps and macro stress maps for major indices including S&P 500, Euro Stoxx 50, KOSPI 200, and TOPIX 100.

The platform is cloud-based and legacy-free, with 15 years of validated daily data underpinning its variance-covariance matrices (90-day half-lives). Distribution is multi-channel: a direct web interface (analytics.quant-insight.com), REST API, daily file drops, and partner platforms including Goldman Sachs Marquee, Omega Point, EDS, Macrobond, and BMLL. The company maintains offices in London (Dawson House, 5 Jewry Street) and New York (575 Fifth Avenue). Quant Insight is positioned as complementary to — not a replacement for — traditional style-factor risk models such as Barra and Axioma, adding the macro lens that those systems treat as residual noise.

Quant Insight operates as a private, VC-backed company (Quant Insight Limited, England and Wales) with 11–50 employees. It completed a Series A funding round in July 2025 led by 7RIDGE's Ecosystem Impact Fund to accelerate global expansion, platform enhancements, and the development of new macro intelligence applications. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting portfolio managers, CROs, and risk teams at institutional asset managers running long/short equity and multi-asset strategies. Revenue is generated through SaaS platform subscriptions with custom enterprise pricing, and no public pricing tiers or named customer logos are disclosed.

Core offering

Quant Insight provides a cloud-based macro factor analytics platform for institutional investors. Its Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM) decomposes daily security returns across 18,000+ equities into macro-driven and idiosyncratic components, while the Macro Valuation Engine computes macro-implied fair value across equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities. Analytics are delivered via web interface, REST API, daily file drops, and partner platforms, enabling portfolio managers, CROs, and risk teams to isolate genuine alpha from macro beta and detect regime shifts.

Product overview

Quant Insight offers a unified macro analytics platform built around two core products: the Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM) and the Macro Valuation Engine. MFERM decomposes returns into macro-driven and idiosyncratic components at the individual security level across 18,000+ securities, updated daily. The Macro Valuation Engine computes macro-implied fair value across equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities. Key supporting features include the Macro Risk Pulse (real-time regime detection), Macro Share of Risk (MSR) for risk decomposition, and Fair Value Gaps for trade timing. The platform leverages Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) for factor analysis and complements traditional style factor models like Barra and Axioma by adding the macro lens. Access is via REST API, web interface, daily file drops, and partner platforms including Omega Point, EDS, and GS Marquee.

Products and services

• Macro Factor Equity Risk Model (MFERM) A proprietary equity risk model that decomposes each security's daily return into a macro-driven component and an idiosyncratic component across 18,000+ securities. It quantifies sensitivities to macro factors (GDP growth, interest rates, credit spreads, inflation expectations, FX, commodities) at the individual security level, updated daily across 15 years of validated data, and separates genuine alpha from macro beta for institutional equity portfolio managers, CROs, and risk teams.
• Macro Valuation Engine A cross-asset valuation engine that computes macro-implied fair value for 18,000+ securities daily by linking macro fundamentals (GDP, inflation, central bank expectations) to market prices. It identifies when securities diverge from macro fundamentals, generates trade signals, and provides a unified factor framework across equities, fixed income, FX, and commodities for multi-asset institutional portfolio teams.

Emerging players

• ExtractAlpha: ExtractAlpha provides alternative and proprietary data sets and signals to quant and fundamental investors, sharing Qi's quantitative, factor-driven approach to generating institutional alpha and risk insights.
• Acuity Research: Acuity Research is a smaller, emerging quant research and analytics platform for institutional investors, with a similar profile of selling data-driven, factor-aware analytics to PMs and risk teams.

Broad incumbents

• MSCI (Barra): MSCI's Barra equity risk models are the dominant incumbent in factor-based equity risk; Qi explicitly positions MFERM as complementary to Barra, serving the same institutional buy-side with overlapping risk analytics use cases.
• FactSet: FactSet's analytics and risk solutions serve the same institutional buy-side personas (PMs, risk teams) and increasingly include factor and macro risk overlays, making it a broad competitor in the same wallet.
• Bloomberg Portfolio & Risk Analytics: Bloomberg's PORT and multi-asset risk suite bundles factor analytics, valuation, and scenario tools into a workflow that competes for the same institutional budget as Qi's MFERM and Macro Valuation Engine.

Direct peers

• Visible Alpha: Visible Alpha provides fundamental analytics and aggregated research data to institutional investors, comparable to Qi in being a data-intensive SaaS overlay for buy-side research and portfolio construction workflows.
• Axioma (Qontigo): Axioma provides factor-based equity and multi-asset risk models directly comparable to MFERM, sold to the same institutional PM and CRO buyer with overlapping decomposition and stress testing workflows.
• Omega Point: Omega Point is a portfolio analytics platform that integrates Qi data and itself provides factor, risk, and optimization analytics to institutional investors, making it both a distribution partner and a near-direct competitor in cross-asset portfolio analytics.
• AlphaSense: AlphaSense is a B2B SaaS analytics platform serving institutional investors, research professionals, and asset managers with proprietary data, AI, and workflow tools, with a similar enterprise GTM and recurring subscription model.

Others

• Macrobond: Macrobond is a macroeconomic and financial data platform listed as a Qi partner; it provides underlying macro data infrastructure that Qi sits on top of, making it an adjacent infrastructure provider rather than a direct competitor.
