Visual Analytics Improve Attribution Analysis Attribution analysis is an important part of managing financial performance. From stock picking to investment style, and market timing to sector allocation, attribution analysis provides financial enterprises with a statistically sound method for evaluating individual investment managers. This in turn allows the enterprise to recruit and hire the best people, get top performance and compete more aggressively. But attribution analysis is a complicated craft involving multidimensional statistical data—clearly a financial or business intelligence solution is helpful. The most effective solutions involve visual analytics, where users can actually see their data in multiple visual representations, making it simpler to comprehend relationships and isolate trends. For many financial enterprises worldwide, Spotfire's visual financial analytics software is the solution of choice.
