Pattern Computer: Discovering New Patterns

Pattern Computer uses proprietary pattern discovery techniques to perform high-dimensional data analytics in any field with significant data complexity. The result is the delivery of breakthrough insights with demonstrable value, or what we call ‘patterndiscoveries’.

Transcending current limits of machine learning, Pattern Computer discovers previously hidden patterns in multi-dimensional data. Pattern Computer can discover higher-order correlations – going beyond pairwise / order two relationships and assessing correlations to the nth degree – without human supervision, greatly expanding the scope and depth of correlative findings.While applied first in the field of medical research, this technology can be used in virtually any industry, to uncover novel insights and transform research and business.

We are a passionate team with decades of experience in mathematics, machine learning, AI, systems architecture and visualization including a tech lead from Amazon’s “Alexa” v. 1.0 team, the co-founder of AutoDesk, an IBM Fellow and strong backgrounds in academia.

At an invite-only Department of Energy Symposium in late 2019, Pattern Computer was introduced as ‘the most advanced machine-learning company on the planet’ by Dr. James Ben Brown, Deputy Director of Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs.

In March 2020, the company completed in vitro organoid testing at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs with two positive results in drug therapies that kill cancer cells but not healthy cells. Pattern is currently engaged with several labs to begin the animal testing process.

IndexIQ: The Next Frontier of Institutional Investing

A subsidiary of one of the oldest and largest life insurance companies in the world, we have a solid foundation and the resources to continue our culture of innovation.

Institutional Investors increasingly using Liquid Alt ETFs for both strategic and tactical allocations
The recent launch of our ESG-related ETFs in partnership with fellow NYLI boutique CANDRIAM.
The growing popularity among investors of actively managed ETFs, particularly actively managed Municipals and High Yield Low Volatility.
The ETF structure will continue to grow across all investor types, from self-directed retail to the largest institutional manager, due to the structural efficiencies’ ETFs provide and the consistently expanding menu of exposure options. Equities have been the dominant asset class in ETFs thus far, but as the ETF ecosystem grows, the smaller areas will increase at an accelerated pace, particularly liquid alternatives, and actively managed exposures, that generate alpha.  

IndexIQ has established a long track record of demonstrating the value of innovation. From offering the first liquid alternative ETF, to leveraging our multi-boutique platform, each ETF is thoughtfully- constructed and our specialized investment solutions help our clients meet the increasingly complex challenges they face in their portfolios today. We provide leading solutions in three categories – liquid alternatives, smart core solutions, and actively managed strategies leveraging our larger multi-boutique structure.
