ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2020 / Lucena Research, a leading provider of investment decision support technology, announced today that it has partnered with Pynk (Pynk.io), a leading crowd intelligence investment platform, to integrate unique crowd intelligence AI into Lucena's model portfolio offerings. The integration combines Pynk's 'super-predictor' intelligence with Lucena's advanced predictive analytics platform, QuantDesk(r) for high-confidence forecasting in Gold Futures. Additional assets such as Bitcoin, Nasdaq Index Futures, EUR/USD and FTSE-100 will be available in the near future.

Model portfolio targets one-week price target of XAU/USD, one troy ounce of gold, spot price expressed in US Dollars.

Sophisticated hedge funds looking to conduct their own research, can purchase historical data directly from Pynk. The model portfolio can be accessed and licensed by hedge funds and portfolio managers from the Lucena Marketplace. Model portfolio is designed to support two main goals:

1. Empirically validate the predictive power of Pynk's data.
2. Provide portfolio construction and investment ideas for investors seeking alpha through predictive data and advanced analytics.

The portfolios can be traded algorithmically or provided as data feeds for quantamental investors looking for tighter control of their integration with their EMS/OMS trading platforms.

'Our Data Refinery platform was able to leverage advanced machine learning and data science geared to validate the predictive nature of the Pynk's data. By incorporating unsupervised machine learning technique, called clustering, we were able to identify the behavioral characteristics of a 'super- predictor'', a Pynk subscriber who consistently delivers highly accurate predictions. We then derive models that transform the data into impressive returns. 'We believe Pynk's data is an ideal upgrade for any portfolio with exposure to Gold'' said Erez Katz, CEO of Lucena.

'We're excited to be working with Lucena to unlock the inherent value in our unique dataset. We collect data every 24 hours from super-predictors across the globe and Lucena's machine learning techniques help find the Wisdom in the Crowd' said Mark Little, CMO at Pynk.
