Is trading a question of experience or one of data? Rarely is it solely one or the other. Success is dependent on adeptly reading the markets and with ever more data to enable the interpretation of market movements, Orbisa provides clarity with distilled data separating signals from other market noise.
CLARITY IN CHAOS
As of Q4 2021, Orbisa data reflects more than $28 trillion in lendable assets with $2.2 trillion in assets on loan from more than 186,000 unique securities across 50+ global markets.
Providing data-led insight to the buy-side community, Orbisa’s source data is derived from DataLend’s anonymized securities lending data and provides 37 tailored data points which focus on key aspects of the short side of the market. Orbisa provides insights into the trade flows between underlying long holders of securities and the broker community, while separately reporting the flows within the intradealer market.
FOCUSED ADVANTAGE
Across the key data points, Orbisa highlights the most relevant market signals, providing a clear view of stock lending activity and actionable insights for buy-side users and their funds. Market movements can be proactively monitored and trends in asset flows analyzed to better position portfolios across both fundamental and systemic trading frameworks.
Orbisa’s short-side market detail combines data points relating to information on available lending supply and lending demand at a beneficial owner inventory level in addition to utilization and short interest. Throughout Q4 2020 and at the time of the Gamestop short, Orbisa data would have shown users clear indications of excessive market movement with a high Short Interest Indicator rating pushing GME to show in the Top Movers dashboard with utilization at 97.25% in January 2021.
