Processes: constructing investment portfolios and assessing risk.
Problem: static models and basic analytical tools (e.g., spreadsheets) fail to dynamically and comprehensively capture the complex, multidimensional relationships and correlations affecting risk-return objectives.
Use case: apply interactive visualisation for analysis of correlations, relations and structures of securities in dynamic, multidimensional ways for portfolio construction and risk.
Case-study: We developed visual analytics tools to present interactive, animated displays of security data. The solution used visual metaphors to encode correlation and stability, allowing analysts to quickly find complex behaviours in equities and dynamically assess risk structures that are often missed using traditional static models.
