问题    ClearMacro CEO Mike Simcock, who has 25 years of professional asset management experience, says he started the company to help investment managers that were drowning in a deluge of data.
   There has been a massive explosion in data sources, many offering the prospect of more timely information and more impactful signals. But the big data revolution is actually compounding a problem that was already there, says Simcock. Advancements in technology are making analytical processes accessible beyond the world of hedge funds(对冲基金)and CTAs(交易顾问): things like back testing tools and ways of aggregating information and visualizing information in a really efficient way.
   ClearMacro is building a " Wikipedia of investment strategies". It applies strategic, tactical and systematic asset allocation strategies, alongside a combination of select data sets providing real time macro insights, from text media and now-casting to cross border central bank liquidity statistics.
   Simcock suggests a less is more approach to data. " We are not scraping the internet for data. We are doing aggregation in the sense that we are sourcing what we call the best quality data sets for the categories of information that we think decision makers care about holistically, as well as tools to back test and gain conviction over what works and what doesn’t. " He said big data sets within the hedge fund space tend to be really focused on tactical, higher frequency, shorter term decision making, such as trying to gain an edge on payrolls or the next move in inflation, or company results.
   The industry is very quickly going to move much further toward data driven automated research and investible strategies. " Funds or products that are essentially driven more and more by rules, and can be delivered in different ways, whether it’s an ETF structure or simply connecting to interactive brokers. "
   Suddenly all sorts of owners of data are realizing the power of their data sets. " We are completely unaware of whether we use traditional data or new data. If we can demonstrate it adds some value then that can justify paying for it. "
   Data does not come cheap: all sorts of entities are offering to sell their data, from anywhere between ￡25K and ￡250K, and upward. "The value of data is in the eyes of the beholder," said Simcock. "Typically I think the way that data sales work is that everything is up for negotiation," he said. " Some of the things we are finding is a lot of the classic data sets are delivering better performance when you build them into strategies. The message I would give to someone asking how should I deal with this landscape—embrace technologies that can make your job easier and take your time. "
It is indicated in the first two paragraphs that______.
选项 A、Simcock himself is an investment consultant
B、Simcock’s company offers timely message
C、it’s hard to make a selection in data explosion
D、high-tech provides new analytic tools for CTAs
答案C
解析 事实细节题。本题考查对于文章前两段相关细节的理解。第一段第一句提到西姆柯克创建的这家公司是为了帮助迷失于数据洪流中的投资管理人，第二段提到数据大爆炸加剧了本已存在的问题。联系两处可以推知，在数据大爆炸中做数据选择比较困难，故答案为C)。文中虽然提到西姆柯克有25年的资产管理经验，但并没有涉及他现在是否还在做投资顾问，故排除A)“西姆柯克是一名投资顾问”；B)“西姆柯克的公司提供实时信息”在前两段也并未提及，故排除；D)“高科技为投资顾问提供了新的分析工具”，文章第二段指出新技术让分析超出了交易顾问的限制，而不是强调给他们提供了新工具，故排除。
