Bloomberg Markets Magazine highlights how Edge enables Alpha performance

Bloomberg Markets Magazine reports on how Sybenetix’s Edge software is being used to analyze investment decision making and enabling individuals, managers and coaches to overcome behavioural basis such as loss aversion and confirmation bias.
