We are always monitoring current trends and developing new thematic investment ideas that can be wrapped into an index.
We are making our AI-based stock selection tool – ARTIS® – available for direct access to our clients.
How it works
ARTIS® searches through millions of documents and articles to identify stocks that relate to an area of interest that the user can define using a number of keywords. Solactive uses ARTIS® to maintain more than 100 indices for ETFs.
1.
Big Data
Huge amounts of unstructured textual data form the foundation of ARTIS®. Data sources, such as financial news, annual reports, and business descriptions, ensure a broad picture.
2.
NLP
Hundreds of thousands of documents are individually evaluated, and each document’s relevance to the respective theme is calculated using a state-of-the-art NLP ranking function.
3.
Extraction
Among all relevant documents, companies are tagged, extracted, and mapped against Solactive’s proprietary symbology database.
4.
Scoring
Each company’s theme relevance is calculated. These theme relevancies, i.e., “ARTIS® scores”, are used to rank companies according to their thematic fit. The resulting universe of companies forms the basis for the index construction.
Why it matters
The investment industry is changing, and to reflect today’s world’s complexity, conventional data points are not sufficient anymore.
ARTIS® is Solactive’s proprietary and in-house-developed natural language processing algorithm that identifies thematic exposures of companies. Compared to traditional sector classifications, where a company only belongs to one sector at a time, ARTIS® enables us to draw a multi-dimensional view on companies, i.e., we are able to identify all business operations of a company even if that company is involved in different markets and offers various products.
What makes it unique
No Black Box
Our state-of-the-art NLP algorithm is completely deterministic. The same input will always produce the same output. As such, ARTIS® is fully transparent without any ambiguity.
Broad Set of Sources
ARTIS® does not rely on only one kind of documents. Instead, we analyze on a broad set of sources. These include, among others, annual filings, financial news, and business descriptions.
Speed
ARTIS® searches and evaluates hundreds of thousands of documents and reports the final theme relevance score within a few seconds.
