XTF Eyes ETF Trend Analysis, Correlation Tools

Abstract

Exchange-traded funds data provider XTF is creating datasets for trend analysis and correlation, as part of a broader suite of portfolio optimization tools that the vendor plans to release later this year. Chief technology officer Richard Radnay says the trend analysis is still in development, but will augment the vendor's existing global heatmaps of ETF flows by providing a linear description of what countries, industries and sectors money is moving to and from over specific time periods, as well as whether that movement is accelerating or decelerating, to immediately detect any trends in money flows.
