Novus Announces The Updated European Short Observer
New York, New York (PRWEB) April 22, 2015 -- Novus, a portfolio analytics and intelligence platform that helps institutional investors analyze their portfolios, today announced the release of their updated European Short Observer, a free interactive tool that allows users to monitor and analyze short selling trends in Europe. This tool is updated every month with the latest holdings information.
Novus has compiled all public data from short disclosure filings in Europe and presented it in a new visualization. Investors and managers can analyze the relative sizes, distributions, and crowding in public short positions for managers engaged in short selling in Europe. The interactive graphic allows users to isolate a manager and identify their public shorts, trace other funds shorting the same security, or reverse the analysis and start from the security.
"The European Short Observer lets investors get a detailed view of hedge fund managers' short exposure to Europe," says Stan Altshuller, Chief Research Officer at Novus. "Are your managers shorting for alpha or beta? Are they finding unique short opportunities or playing in more common shorts? Managers themselves can take advantage of the tool for short idea generation, understanding how crowded their shorts are, and how much short squeeze risk exists. In addition, managers can get a good grasp of who is on the other side of their European long positions."
