I wasn’t expecting that

Interesting, but too early at the moment to be talking of buy outs or acquisitions imo. Of more immediate significance, perhaps, is whether or not August is going to be the once traditional quiet month with newsflow resuming in September. Certainly a lot going on in the area as the FT article linked below makes clear.

"Abrdn calls in robo-investing pioneer to stem £5billion customer exodus"



"Treacherous markets fuel boom in outsourcing investment teams"

Insig are evidently very neatly positioned in a sector undergoing material dynamic changes, which many asset managers and companies are not only unprepared for but also unlikely to possess the internal expertise to properly keep pace with.Their tools/product seem compelling, as evidenced by announcements to date which also cite multiple client validations in progress. If they can gain traction and start to scale this expertise at speed there appears to be a very large open goal in front of them. Equally, one for investors to participate in given this is, to the best of my knowledge at least, currently the only UK listed proposition of its kind.As frustrating as it has been to watch the share price pop up and then retreat back, without commercial information (particularly in the case of the second announcement which certainly appears far more significant than bread and butter subscriptions) and the attendant coverage that would naturally follow, it is easy to see why it is currently a challenge to cultivate a broader retail investor base.It also seems logical that regardless of how much progress they can make over the next few months, acquisitions will also be necessary to achieve the requisite operational bandwidth to fully convert the opportunity, both domestically and internationally. The admission document references this.In any event, just a few quick thoughts but certainly looking forward to see things unfold here and good luck to all.

Computer-driven funds to muscle into new markets, says Man Group CIO

"The UK hedge fund’s chief investment officer, who is retiring later this year after three decades in the industry, argues that despite ups and downs over his career, the “invasion of quants into fund management has been unstoppable”.

Rattray said the coming decade will see quants, which use data and systematic computer-driven models to make investment decisions, seizing more territory in areas of finance long considered treacherous terrain for algorithmic strategies.

“Markets have in almost every area become significantly more quantitative, and that will probably continue. There are some holdouts, but they are also going to fall eventually,” he said in an interview with the Financial Times. “People in finance seem to think it’s somehow exceptional, but it’s just another industry, and all industries are going to become much more technology and data-driven.”

The crown jewel of Man Group is its systematic, computer-powered AHL unit, whose assets under Rattray’s stewardship climbed from $11.9bn at the end of 2013, when he was made its chief executive, to $50.7bn this year. In 2017 he was made chief investment officer of Man Group overall, and has helped the group’s total assets under management rise to a record $135bn."

"For the quant industry itself, he thinks the next big frontiers will be improving how well machines analyse text, rather than just numbers, and harnessing the potential power of machine learning, another field of artificial intelligence."

I think it's fair to say the first barn was well and truly stormed if I read between the lines on the last announcement. I'd be hugely surprised if that was going to be a loner for long

[judijudi] 03/8/2021 15:08

parsnip
😀
Yep the lack of publicity is not helping for sure
The wider investment community will not have heard of Insi
Let’s hope they have some barn storming deals lined up that will put an end to that🤞㊃0;

[rafboy] 03/8/2021 15:01

Well at some point their buying will be revealed.

[parsnip1] 03/8/2021 14:58

All good my friend. I'll be a lot happier when the share price reflects the reality. 😊. To be honest the paucity of publicity here is allowing a lot to build stakes.

[judijudi] 03/8/2021 14:54

Afternoon Mr Parsnip
How you doing?

[parsnip1] 03/8/2021 14:45

£15k worth of shares sold, marked down 4%. Sound odd? No purchases from yesterday or today showing up. Sound odd? Stake building probably. Let's see

[judijudi] 03/8/2021 14:34

Very disappointing

[rafboy] 03/8/2021 14:10

Not looking too clever here at the moment. Need more decent contract wins to start us back up.

"Trillions of pounds in pension funds will be shoehorned into “green” and “ethical” investments as the Government plans to employ savers’ hard-earned retirement money to “save the planet”.

However, higher fees, limited investment options and the potential for share price bubbles could hit the future value of pension pots, experts have warned.

Pension providers have started moving retirement pots without consultation. Paul Darrow, who works for the City watchdog, the Financial Conduct Authority, said he was “perturbed” that his pension was being transferred to carbon-free and “socially responsible” investments.

Mr Darrow, whose name has been changed, said: “I’m worried it has compromised the long-term growth of our pensions for a warm, fuzzy feeling in the managers’ bellies. The issues of the world cannot be solved by a pension or two, so why is mine part of this experiment?”

He said the political world had spilt over into the financial one and he was “disturbed” that his pension was targeting social change rather than flat-out growth."

Good to see someone pick up 25K shares earlier. This fall won’t last too long hopefully.

[farmscan] 24/7/2021 13:23

Thanks lti. Got out before all time low so not as unfortunate as some, whom I feel for. Fingers crossed here. Sorry for the o/t.

[ltinvestor] 24/7/2021 11:32

Farmscan.Sorry to hear about your losses with Hur… if it wasn’t for RB taking on the board all would be lost.Hope you make your losses and more back here.

[farmscan] 24/7/2021 11:07

lti. Not sure how to view post 235, whilst still suffering from the bloody nose HUR gave me!

[shrewdmole] 24/7/2021 10:55

Fund managers don’t part with their own money without a damn good reason.

[chessman2] 24/7/2021 10:47

Shrewdmole, I did mention in the heading that the founders had exceedingly interesting backgrounds.

IMO INSG is definitely a share for the future. The next few RNSs should be very interesting!

[ltinvestor] 24/7/2021 10:25

Do not forget that Richard Bernstein has invested over £1.5m of his own money in this business….

[pj 1] 24/7/2021 10:10

parsnip. It's Banked....👍👍👍

Banshee, I've re-read. It doesn't come out as a rant to me, it certainly wasn't intended as one, an explanation as to how I saw it at the time. My rants tend to be saved for 🏌️205;♀️

(edit. and maybe OPTI)

[shrewdmole] 24/7/2021 10:06

I’ve just had a reread of the boards experience and well worth reminding ones self of the calibre here.

White House advisory roles in different administrations, Goldman Sachs headhunted, Barclays, LSE etc etc

Not bad for an aim company.

[shrewdmole] 24/7/2021 10:02

Very good point…
