During Dyalog ’13, Dyalog Ltd announced an agreement with Syncfusion Inc. The agreement stated that Syncfusion’s Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and JavaScript libraries would be bundled with Dyalog version 14.0 (see http://www.dyalog.com/news/81/420/Dyalog-Agreement-with-Syncfusion.htm).
On Wednesday the 25th it was, therefore, a pleasure to attend the presentation by Claus Madsen of Fine Analytics (Denmark), where he presented the company’s InRisk Asset Allocation Platform.
The application is written purely in Dyalog and is aimed at professional investors. Fine Analytics have taken advantage of the WPF capabilities and Syncfusion controls available with Dyalog 14.0 to build a generic asset allocation platform with special focus on the professional investor. A specially designed .NET class facilitates the separation of the administrative and analytical sections of the application and a flexible calculation engine that allows a user to define type/structure/order is an integral part of the platform. All assumptions can be controlled from the professional-looking user interface; the user interface can also be used to change/import/construct/delete/add/copy/export a portfolio as well as add new assets in asset groups.
