Invisage is a cloud-based platform that helps asset managers optimise their performance and research costs by identifying the true value of investment research. The company asserts that Directive 2014/65/EU has led to the investment research market falling from $16.5 billion to $14 billion as managers look to reduce costs and increase value. Invisage asserts that its platform helps asset managers identify, objectively measure ‘value’ added by research, and consume only high-impact research. The company also offers a web-based research consolidation, valuation and attribution solution that gives a quantitative assessment of value added by research to client portfolios. Invisage will use the investment to enhance deep learning-based Natural Language Processing (NLP) models that detect the implicit ideas from research narrative, build partnerships with data providers and other solution providers, and market scale its sales function
