High-Performance Energy Hedge Fund joins Coherra!

Coherra is excited to welcome Westbeck Capital Management LLP to our pioneer program! We will soon introduce this energy-focused hedge fund from the United Kingdom to our community.

Delivering 39.5 percent in 2019 and up 27 percent YTD in one of their funds, Westbeck Capital managed to navigate the extreme market volatility and achieved great returns both in March and April. With multiple strategies represented in their Westbeck Energy Opportunity Fund, Volta Fund, and Westbeck Resource Income Fund, they cover a wide range of the energy market. 

Westbeck Capital was launched by Jean-Louis Le Mée and Will Smith in 2016. Their understanding of the need to share more intelligence and strategies with their investor public is closely aligned with Coherra’s value proposition.

Welcome on board, WestBeck! More intelligence from our new pioneer coming soon.

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

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!
