Welcome to Affinity

As the thematic space becomes more competitive and a bigger hunting ground for alpha, there’s now a new imperative…

Not just to make the most of the data you’ve already collected, but to tap into data from previously inaccessible sources – in a way that efficiently captures, orders, and integrates with your in-house models.

That’s why we at CID have built Affinity – a platform that helps you deliver better thematic performance for each of your institutional, high net worth individual, and retail distribution clients.

With Affinity, you get…

More alpha from thematic investment strategies
More customised and transparent investment products
Faster product development
Shorter time-to-market
More efficient research processes
