Ghaia Investment Holding, Chicago Global Launch Parallax in KSA to Support Institutional Decision-Making

Ghaia Investment Holding, a Riyadh-based investment group, and Chicago Global, a Singapore-based investment management firm, are introducing Parallax in Saudi Arabia to support institutional investment decision-making processes amid market volatility.

Parallax, a research and analytics tool, is designed to help investment teams form, review, and govern investment decisions by integrating market data, research, factor signals, scenario analysis and portfolio context into a structured workflow.

“Parallax was built around a simple institutional requirement: investment views should be traceable from the underlying data and methodology to the decision they support,” Ivan Chelebiev, Founder and CEO of Chicago Global, said. “The challenge for institutions is not only access to more information; it is turning market data, research signals, and portfolio context into a repeatable process that remains consistent under pressure.

According to the companies, institutions are increasingly challenged by the volume of market data, research and geopolitical signals, which can complicate timely and consistent decision-making. Parallax is intended to connect these inputs into a single decision framework, allowing users to assess what has changed in markets, evaluate potential scenarios and link analysis to portfolio exposures.

The platform applies a consistent investment framework across more than 62,000 securities and 48 global markets. However, they clarified that Parallax is intended to support, not replace, institutional judgment, particularly in areas such as portfolio construction, risk review and investment committee preparation.

The introduction comes as Saudi Arabia continues to develop its financial sector under Vision 2030 and the Financial Sector Development Program, with increasing emphasis on transparency, governance and capital market development.
