Kuberre Systems Selected by Charter Oak Investment Systems to Manage its Point in Time Analytics Engine

    NORTH ANDOVER, MA, September 25, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Kuberre Systems today announced that it has been selected by Charter Oak Investment Systems to manage day-to-day operational responsibilities for the company's powerful Point-in-Time analytics engine and its output. The agreement also calls for Kuberre Systems to provide continued support services to the existing Standard & Poor's Compustat clients that subscribe to the Charter Oak point in time data set for use in their investment operations today.

The Charter Oak Point-in-Time analytics engine offers quantitative analysts and other asset managers the ability to look back at daily snapshots of a company's fundamentals as they would have been assessed by investment professionals at that specific point in time. The sophisticated Charter Oak system effectively recreates a company's fundamental data elements that were available as of a specific date, and accurately realigns those fundamentals with historical, market-related information. This unique approach enables analysts and fund managers to remove the 'rearview mirror' biases and data distortions that can result when they use lag assumptions to back-test their models
