By aggregating and analyzing the holdings, flows and borrowings of institutional investors around the world, the research aims to provide insights into investor behaviour and its interaction with global financial markets.

“I’m very pleased to have Hemang on board,” says Sisti. “His technology expertise and his knowledge of both buy and sell-side financial operations will be a great asset to us as we continue to advance our trading infrastructure globally. We’re also glad to leverage his keen understanding of the regulatory and business environment in Europe.”
