Anima Alternative SGR is the asset management company within Anima Group – the largest independent asset management group in Italy.
The suite is specifically in KCx’s API Analytical Suite which allows users to pull data sourced from KCx’s quantitative models and execution observations used by the firm’s algorithmic trading engine.
