Additional Information:
The Bulgarian team started in 2001 under the name FinAnalytica developing the Cognity® solution and quickly gained the trust of investment companies in Western Europe and the USA. In 2016, the company started to gain traction in Cognitive Analytics in the US and Europe. FinAnalytica was acquired by the French company BISAM to provide a comprehensive financial portfolio management service, with BISAM in turn becoming part of FactSet a year later. Because of the in-depth mathematical risk calculation models developed by our Quantitative Research team and implemented in Cognity®, the product gradually became the primary risk engine for the FactSet giant, positioning the team here as a highly essential unit for the company.
