Inputs that feed this composition and sequencing are pulled from all aspects of the trade lifecycle. This differs dramatically from long-only and single-asset strategies that typically rely only on pre-trade and market-timing information. To facilitate this more complex and multi-variable trading approach, multi-asset strategy firms have tended to invest in data modeling and distribution tools that provide them an edge over their more product-aligned service partners.
