April Product Update
In April, we gave OWL a design refresh, continued to add features to the My Portfolio pages, and refreshed ADV data based on 3/31 manager filings. We also worked on the building blocks for a number of new features that we expect to release in May and June – stay tuned!
Stock Exposures Table
As a reminder, OWL users can set up an unlimited number of “My Portfolios” to track groups of managers and their underlying positions. On the My Portfolios pages, we added a more detailed view of the holders of a particular stock, making it easier to see which managers are driving the exposure in a given portfolio. On the Exposures table, users can now see a full list of managers that own a given stock in the “owned by” column and can also click into the “% of Portfolio” to see each manager’s position size.
Home Page Updates
In January, we launched a new home page with a personalized feed designed to surface key updates for the managers our users follow. In April, we refreshed this home page with several new features to make it more user-friendly. For example, users can now use the “/” key to quickly access search, and have more control over the feeds and user navigation displays.
UX/UI Updates
In April, we implemented a more modern user interface, bringing key improvements to performance, compatibility, and overall user experience. While individual changes may be small, the changes made charts and graphics more consistent across the site. Our refreshed design also enhanced site accessibility with improved color contrast and navigation.
Data Updates
We continue to expand the breadth and depth of our data. At OWL, we take pride in having the most accurate and comprehensive data on global position disclosures. As an example, in April, we automated position data in Sweden, mapping hundreds of managers with positions in that market.
We also processed more than 7,000 ADV filings in April, as most managers file them by 3/31 and the data is released shortly thereafter. This ADV data provides up-to-date information on a manager’s business, including AUM, headcount, new fund launches, and internal ownership of its funds.
We currently have almost 14,000 managers and over 1.2 million people records in OWL, and those numbers continue to increase every month. User feedback is critical and plays an important role in our product roadmap – if you have any ideas of what you’d like to see, please reach out!
