Equity-focused investment manager TimesSquare Capital Management has selected Bloomberg's buy-side technology platform to integrate its portfolio analytics and research management capabilities into a single investment workflow.

The firm will implement Bloomberg's Portfolio & Risk Analytics (PORT) solution alongside its Research Management Solutions (RMS Enterprise) platform as part of an effort to centralise investment research, portfolio construction and risk analysis.

The combined platform is designed to provide investment teams with a unified workflow that links portfolio analytics with both structured and unstructured research data, allowing portfolio managers and analysts to evaluate investment ideas, monitor risk and manage portfolios from a single system.

Bloomberg said its PORT solution offers advanced portfolio risk analysis and return attribution tools, while RMS Enterprise enables firms to organise research, automate workflows and improve collaboration across investment teams.

Joshua Bischoff, partner, head of trading and portfolio manager at TimesSquare Capital Management, said integrating portfolio analytics and research management would improve efficiency across the firm's investment process by connecting research directly to portfolio construction.

The platform is intended to help investment teams identify risks, uncover new investment opportunities and respond more effectively to changing market conditions.

Jose Ribas, global head of Buy-Side Solutions at Bloomberg, said the implementation expands the firm's relationship with TimesSquare by bringing together portfolio analytics, proprietary investment models and internal forecasting capabilities within a single workflow.
