BigBen 1.0 – Introducing a new algorithm for the COHERRA platform

Benjamin from Coherra AI/ML has developed a new algorithm focused on headlines, tags, and short text.

Now he is introducing BigBen 1.0 – a neural network that can understand the “meaning” behind words and propose the most relevant connections for related content.

With a vocabulary of 3 mil words and encoded in a 300-dimensional vector the algorithm can now locate related content very quickly – within 10.000 headlines, the model can identify 10 related headlines in 0.010024 seconds.

The first results are impressive – well done, Benjamin!

First live webinar – and beyond

Last week, Coherra introduced a new product in our mission of distributing intelligence and making it available for everyone – live sessions with speakers from the asset management industry. We hosted the first live webinar on Wednesday with Mads Pedersen from EyePerformance, a prominent name in the industry.

EyePerformance has proven its expertise again in March 2020 – even during the most turbulent period, the Welzia Multi-Asset Fund they took over a year ago brought a positive return. The fund is outperforming its peers – it is in the top 80% on Bloomberg for the year and above 95% versus peers in the last month.
New product has been built during this period because demand changed when circumstances changed.
We are looking forward to telling you more over the coming weeks.

Coherra weekend workshop – creating intelligence and connections 

During the weekend of 6-8th March, Coherra hosted a workshop for some of the employees abroad. We welcomed people from all over the world – the United States, the United Kingdom, Central Europe, and Asia. Some were present in Copenhagen, some we had to excuse because of travel bans being in place – but we are happy that they could join in online.

We would like to thank everybody for contributing – it is what makes the services and value proposition of Coherra beyond state-of-the-art.

We look forward to sharing all this information with our customers and partners in different locations – stay tuned!

Right now, there are two black swans – the coronavirus and a financial meltdown. They may be highly correlated and affected by each other. What is clear is that they are happening at the same time, and the impacts on the financial world are major.

We enable the investors to access video content from the smartest minds among asset managers. We allow them to share their insights and distribute them to new platforms and through various institutions directly to the communities where investors operate.

What we have seen in the past few days is that the financial markets are starting to react to the threat of the coronavirus in a severe way.

Investors naturally want to know what is important and what their next course of action should be.

What they need is a direct approach and story. 

Coherra will offer hundreds of asset managers – people who are investing themselves – explaining exactly what they are doing in a dynamic and engaging way – through video content.  

But they should be able to reach anybody with their explanation of the situation. In that way, they can make use of this communication tool to reach their customers – and engage new ones. 

Keeping investors informed is key. But so is engagement and connecting.

Let’s do both with Coherra.

The power of video, the power of connections – the power of COHERRA

Our strength lies in our network. And the innovative driven members of the Coherra Pioneer Program confirm it.

Recognizing their respective edge, we connected two like-minded pioneers who are changing the future of asset management but with two very different approaches. Innolab with distinct AI focus on investment selection technology and Noviscient with a unique gateway for institutional investors to get diversification and alpha generation.

Thanks to the Coherra Pioneer Program, they both enjoy the benefits of a successful partnership documenting that connectivity is far greater than the sum of its parts.
