FinSpace’s APIs are designed to allow you to ingest data from your internal and third-party data feeds, such as
risk management systems or historical securities prices from stock exchanges, and existing S3 buckets. You
can also drag and drop files using the web application. Your data is then encrypted in FinSpace using an AWS
Key Management Service (KMS) key that you create and manage.
Data loaded into FinSpace is tracked in the business data catalog. FinSpace's business data catalog enables
you to find, learn about, and access data directly.
In FinSpace, you can use metadata to help provide business context and meaning to your data so that it is
easier to organize and understand. In order to describe your data in more structured ways, like by provider,
frequency of delivery, licensing terms, and more, you can add classifications and associate attributes by
writing in text or selecting classifications from premade drop downs. With FinSpace, you can also define
classifications based on your business terms and usage and set rules to ensure that all metadata is captured in
the same way.
FinSpace is designed to simplify the collecting and processing of data common in the financial services
industry, such as time series data and reference data. As data is periodically collected, FinSpace is designed to
apply corrections or revisions to your time series data so that no additional post-processing is required in
order for you to perform analysis. FinSpace is also designed to convert all collected raw data into compute
optimized formats like Apache Parquet that are more conducive to analysis.

Financial time series data processing library
FinSpace’s financial time series data processing library is designed to allow you to transform and enrich time
series data. The library of functions can be used to run financial analytics in your Jupyter notebooks, such as

the computation of statistical and technical indicators to support investment and risk management decisions.
It also provides functions to filter and normalize time series data such as a stock's open, high, low, and close
prices into time bars.

Historical data views
FinSpace helps you to validate modeling assumptions using historical data by enabling you to explore and use
datasets at any point in time, such as when the data was originally collected.
When you want to perform data preparation and run analysis in FinSpace, you can access all data directly
from Jupyter notebooks built-in to integrate with your data. FinSpace is designed to allow you to share data
created in your notebook with others on your team via the FinSpace catalog.
Regulatory compliance
Data access controls and audit reports
FinSpace lets you define access policies in one place and enforces them across data search, visualization, and
analysis. FinSpace also records access and operations that you and your systems perform on data. FinSpace
audit reports are designed to help you to demonstrate compliance with your data governance policies.
FinSpace is designed to eliminate the need to integrate a financial data management system with analysis
tools and build all the components required to do so, such as bi-temporal storage, a data catalag, Spark
clusters, and more. Your teams only need to integrate FinSpace with your data sources to get started.
With FinSpace, you can launch managed Spark clusters from the Jupyter notebook to process data at scale,
perform data transformations, and run analytics. You can select from one of the pre-configured cluster
templates to match the size and complexity of the operation you need to perform.
