Big data & analytics

Our Analysts often have a physics or computer science background, although we do also consider people with Masters or PHD’s, especially within the fields of mathematics or economics - given the assistance a highly mathematical mindset can provide when problem-solving.

By 2025, it’s estimated that 463 exabytes of data will be created each day globally. Putting that into perspective, in 1986 the World’s complete technological capacity to store information was only 2.6 compressed exabytes - and it was only in 2004 that global internet traffic reached and overtook 1 exabyte per month.

When we look at this rapidly advancing growth in data production, it’s no surprise that the capabilities to analyse and translate this information are in such high demand. Within the financial markets, data-led technologies are leading the ‘big data’ movement; used by organisations to discover analytical trends, gain predictive insights and set future strategies.

However, the analytical skills required by Financial Institutions are not industry exclusive. Whilst Caspian One predominantly works with Investment Banks and global Hedge Funds, there is also growing demand from Health Services, Formula One, NASA… ultimately all and any organisation that needs to analyse high volumes of data quickly.

What we are witnessing is a continued high demand for market analytics and data analyst capabilities, and we expect that within the next 6-12 months the future of this market will become clearer and buyers obtain a better picture of what they’re looking for next.
