Cross-asset research
A cross-asset research platform - one operating picture for macro, geo, options, and policy
A cross-asset research platform helps you connect moves across rates, credit, FX, commodities, equities, and options instead of reading each market separately. For institutional investors, the useful version is one that turns macro, policy, and geopolitical events into a single operating picture and transmission view - so the next decision is grounded in the same context across every asset class. Market Ontology is built for that workflow.
- Unified operating picture - Macro regime, live events, options context, and policy signal in one view.
- Cross-asset transmission - How a move in crude, the curve, or a sanctions episode propagates across markets.
- Institutional modules - Capital structure, materials flow, options intelligence, policy intelligence.
- Team workflow - Up to 10 seats per Team plan with shared follow lists, alerts, and saved views.
Why cross-asset research is fragmented
Most institutional research stacks are built around silos: a rates desk runs its own dashboard, a geo analyst reads a different set of feeds, an options PM watches yet another screen, and a policy person sits closer to the legislative tracker than to the market. The result is that every desk has a partial picture and the firm has no single operating view.
Market Ontology's wedge is the connection layer between those domains.
What the platform delivers
- A daily macro regime read every desk can anchor to.
- A live event surface with affected assets attached - so the geo signal lands in the trader's view, not just the analyst's.
- Cross-asset transmission that traces each move through rates, credit, FX, commodities, and vol.
- Options context so expressions are sized against current IV, skew, and positioning.
- Policy intelligence - legislation, central bank language, lobbying, PAC influence - surfaced where it intersects portfolio exposure.
- Capital structure and material flows for institutional-depth analysis on the global balance sheet and physical economy.
Who uses it
Hedge funds, family offices, sovereign allocators, and institutional research teams use the platform as a unified workflow above their existing market data feeds.
