About

Data terminals show you what happened. We tell you what to do about it.

Parallax is a macro intelligence platform. We connect global economic data to regime detection, risk modelling, fund analytics, and portfolio construction — producing a single, continuously updated view of what the macro environment means for investment positioning. That intelligence powers everything we deliver.



How We Work
Open Access
Platform

Full access to the intelligence layer — data, signals, surveillance, fund analytics, and risk tools. No licence fee, no gates. The entire platform, openly available to institutional investors and advisory firms.

By Engagement
Bespoke

Custom builds, tailored analytics, and off-platform research for firms with specific requirements. If you need something the platform doesn't do yet, we'll build it.

01 — Data

The foundation everything else is built on

We ingest macroeconomic data directly from the world's primary statistical agencies — not aggregated secondhand, but at source. Every series is normalised across countries and frequencies, then decomposed to the most granular level the source publishes.

Coverage spans developed and emerging economies across GDP, inflation, labour markets, monetary policy, trade, industrial production, housing, credit conditions, and financial markets. Full history from first available observation. Automated pipelines running continuously.

Most platforms give you headline numbers. We go to the component level — the sub-indices, the regional breakdowns, the seasonal adjustments — because that's where the signal is before it reaches the headline.

02 — Signals

Where data becomes intelligence

Every series in the platform carries a quantitative overlay — derived analytics computed automatically as new data arrives. Momentum, acceleration, cross-country divergence, historical context, and regime classification run across the entire dataset.

Our models don't just flag that something moved. They assess whether the signal is reliable in current conditions — drawing on historical regime context to determine when a pattern has predictive value and when it doesn't. A signal that works in low-volatility expansion may be noise in a late-cycle environment.

The output is a continuously updated view of where each economy sits, where it's heading, and how confident we are in that assessment.

03 — Surveillance

See it before the market does

Global Eye is our continuous monitoring system for systemic risk. It scans leading indicators across financial contagion, sovereign stress, geopolitical disruption, and macroeconomic regime change — looking for the patterns that preceded every major crisis of the last three decades.

The aim is detection, not prediction. When a cluster of indicators begins to align with historical crisis signatures, the system flags it — giving investment teams the lead time to assess, prepare, and position before the event becomes consensus.

Most risk systems tell you what happened. This one is designed to tell you what's developing.

04 — Fund Intelligence

From macro view to portfolio expression

This is the bridge between understanding the environment and acting on it. If the macro landscape is shifting toward a particular regime, which instruments are best positioned? How should exposure change? What worked historically in analogous conditions?

We analyse funds across the full spectrum — ETFs, mutual funds, hedge funds, closed-end vehicles, and alternative strategies. Institutional holdings, portfolio compositions, and position-level exposures are decomposed and mapped against our macro and risk frameworks. The result is fund intelligence that's directly linked to the economic view, not isolated from it.

Quantitative due diligence, peer comparison, style analysis, crowded-trade detection, and regime-conditional performance assessment — all designed to answer the question that matters: given what we believe about the environment, how should the portfolio be expressed?

05 — Risk

Know what you own and what it means

When holdings are added to the platform, the full risk analytics suite activates. Factor decomposition across macro, style, and country dimensions. Attribution of where risk is concentrated and where it's coming from. Stress testing against historical scenarios and regime-conditional environments.

We build our own capital market assumptions and aggregate those published by major institutions — then model expected return and risk across the full opportunity set. The framework draws on established academic and industry methodologies, adapted for a regime-aware investment process.

The goal is transparency. Not just what the portfolio holds, but what risks it's actually taking — and whether those risks are intentional given the current environment.

06 — AI

Intelligence that compounds

Machine intelligence is not a feature of the platform — it is the platform. Every layer of the system is designed for AI to operate across: ingesting data, generating signals, monitoring risk, synthesising research, and surfacing what matters from an enormous and continuously expanding dataset.

The models don't replace judgement. They accelerate it. What would take a research team days to compile — cross-country comparisons, regime context, historical analogues, fund exposure mapping — the system produces on demand, grounded in the underlying data and transparent in its reasoning.

Institutional-grade research automation. Not a chatbot — a second brain for the investment process.

07 — Execution

Where intelligence becomes action

Everything the platform produces — regime positioning, fund selection, risk attribution, signal validation — converges here. Execution is the point where macro intelligence meets portfolio reality.

Portfolio construction informed by regime context. Allocation strategy stress-tested against historical scenarios before implementation. Position sizing calibrated to the current risk environment, not a static model built for a different cycle.

The goal is not to generate more information. It's to close the gap between knowing and doing.
