BNY Expands iFlow’s Fixed Income and Equities Insights

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a global financial services company, announced the expansion of its iFlow¹ product offering, with more extensive fixed income and equity data analytics. iFlow provides a unique vantage point of insights into BNY’s more than $50 trillion in assets² under custody and/or administration, revealing global asset allocation trends and market-moving reactions, to investment managers and asset owners. 

With this expanded capability, BNY’s iFlow will now be able to generate on-demand charts for shorts, holdings, and positioning, complementing existing flow views. This allows for clearer definitions of rotation trade equity, credit, and duration in bonds and, ultimately supports improved benchmark definitions and portfolio construction.  

 iFlow will now provide the following fixed income and equity insights: 

·       iFlow Shorts: aggregates short interest metrics that capture borrowing and lending behavior, aiding portfolio managers in making portfolio construction decisions. 

·       iFlow Holdings: reflects investor exposure to stock and bond markets, showing an aggregated view into how investors have allocated capital across country, sector, credit rating and maturity. 

·       iFlow Positioning: measures investment preferences based on aggregated investor holdings, showing capital deployment across countries and sectors, compared to other asset classes and benchmarks.

Hyundai iFlow

One of the primary jobs for the iFlow is to look good, and Hyundai’s designers have succeeded in that respect. But it’s important as a statement of intent from the ambitious brand, too. It shows that the firm is diversifying out of its traditional segments and also employing state-of-the-art technology, such as the twin-turbodiesel diesel hybrid powerplant. The current indications from within the company are that it will make production in 2012. If that’s the case, then Hyundai looks certain to have another winning package on its hands.

Korean giant Hyundai has built up a reputation for producing cars that are practical, cost-effective and good to own. To prove the point, its Ford Focus-sized i30 topped our Driver Power 2010 reliability and satisfaction survey. But now, the firm wants to offer models that look daring as well.

The iFlow made its UK debut at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed – and Auto Express was the only magazine to get behind the wheel. It points the way to a Volkswagen Passat CC rival, and will be a sportier sister to the i40 saloon. The iFlow also shows off some exciting technology that in true…

iFlow Is An Electric Scooter By 22Kymco That Lets You Swap A Depleted Battery For A New One

The growing trend of collaborations in the automobile industry has resulted in yet another electric vehicle for the Indian market. This time, it is Kymco and 22 Motors that have joined hands to launch the iFlow electric scooter in India at a price of Rs 90,000 (on-road). The interesting bit? The electric scooter comes with swappable batteries.

First seen at the Auto Expo last year, the iFlow is a retro-design two-wheeler loaded with modern features, including a digital instrument console, Bluetooth and Cloud connectivity and even geo-fencing for accessing the electric scooter remotely.

The iFlow is powered by Kymco’s IONEX battery technology - an aftermath of the 25 percent stakes that Kymco bought in 22 Motors back in October last year. The technology results in swappable batteries, weighing 5 kg each and capable of charging to their full capacity within an hour, as per the company. Up to two of such batteries can be used for an iFlow electric scooter, extending the range of the scooter to a total of 160 km. Regenerative braking employed in the vehicle also helps in extending this range.
