Venn by Two Sigma

Factor-based portfolio analytics occupy a narrow but consequential position in the family office toolkit: most offices either lack the tools to do it at all, or rely on spreadsheets that cannot handle multi-asset complexity. Venn, built by Two Sigma and now being acquired by Insight Partners to merge with Solovis, applies quantitative research methods from one of the world’s most data-intensive investment firms to a cloud platform accessible to institutional investors of all sizes. The platform’s 18-factor model sits at its core, giving investment teams a common language for understanding risk exposures across public and private holdings simultaneously.

For single and multi-family offices, the most operationally relevant capabilities include:

• Factor-based risk analysis across public and private assets in a single workspace
• Private asset desmoothing and interpolation to convert quarterly returns into daily approximated series comparable to public market benchmarks
• Portfolio construction and scenario modeling with asset class and sub-asset class granularity
• Manager due diligence workflows using quantitative factor attribution
• Custom report and presentation design for investment committee or advisor use

The platform integrates with a broad set of data and technology partners including Addepar, Bloomberg, Morningstar, Preqin, Canoe Intelligence, MSCI, and HFR, allowing investment teams to pull in holdings data from existing systems rather than rebuilding from scratch. Venn reports 240-plus clients across 22 countries representing more than $25 trillion in aggregate AUM, which points to a predominantly institutional user base. Family offices with a dedicated investment function and a quantitative orientation will find it well matched to their needs. Offices seeking consolidated accounting, billing, or operational reporting will need to complement Venn with other tools, as its focus is analytical rather than operational.
