TimesSquare selects Bloomberg to integrate PORT and RMS

TimesSquare Capital Management has chosen Bloomberg’s buy-side platform to combine portfolio analytics and research management into a single investment workflow. The firm will deploy Bloomberg’s Portfolio & Risk Analytics (PORT) alongside Research Management Solutions (RMS Enterprise).

The system will link portfolio analytics with both structured and unstructured research, allowing portfolio managers and analysts to review investment ideas, monitor risk and manage positions from the same environment.

TimesSquare plans to use PORT for advanced risk analysis and return attribution. RMS Enterprise will be used to organize research, automate workflows and support collaboration across investment teams.

The firm expects the platform to consolidate research, proprietary investment models and internal forecasts so teams can assess positions and respond to market changes more quickly.

Joshua Bischoff, partner and head of trading and a portfolio manager at TimesSquare Capital Management, commented: “Integrating portfolio analytics and research management would improve efficiency across the firm’s investment process by connecting research directly to portfolio construction.”

Jose Ribas, global head of Buy-Side Solutions at Bloomberg, added: “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.”

Bloomberg says PORT provides detailed risk metrics and attribution tools, while RMS Enterprise helps firms standardize research processes and make information available to analysts and portfolio managers. TimesSquare did not disclose a timeline for implementation or the cost of the project.
