FinLab SA and Hedge Fund Research, Inc. (HFR) are Pleased to Announce that the HFR Hedge Fund Database is Now Available in PackHedge Format

FinLab SA and HFR are pleased to announce a strategic cooperative to offer the HFR hedge fund database in PackHedge format and the availability of HFR indices to all FinLab clients.

Kennett Square, PA (PRWEB) January 22, 2008 -- After years of servicing mutual clients independently, FinLab and HFR have formed a strategic alliance to provide the hedge fund industry with the most effective access to HFR's hedge fund database through FinLab's industry leading software for conducting investment research and analysis, PackHedgeTM.

Effective immediately, the entire HFR hedge fund database is available in XML format which is the standard data format imported and exported by PackHedge. This PackHedge specific XML file of the HFR database is available for download from the HFR website. XML is widely recognized as the most efficient means to transfer data to and from software applications.

PackHedge has fast become the industry benchmark for hedge fund data management, research and analysis. It was a logical step for us to combine our efforts with FinLab

For years, our clients were limited to accessing the HFR database in MS Access format. As HFR is one of the most respected and requested hedge fund databases by PackHedge users, we are obviously pleased that clients will now be able to access HFR through PackHedge in a more timely and efficient manner

FinLab is equally enthused about joining forces with HFR. "For years, our clients were limited to accessing the HFR database in MS Access format. As HFR is one of the most respected and requested hedge fund databases by PackHedge users, we are obviously pleased that clients will now be able to access HFR through PackHedge in a more timely and efficient manner," states FinLab's CEO, Denis de Pentheny O'Kelly.
