Super-stupid suggestion, but… why not enhance building indices for given topics? Some sort of semi-automatic creation?

Say I believe in genome editing, CRISPR and personal medicine, and I would like to have XX stocks in my index. Your system could support me by picking the appropriate stocks.

Biggest issue is to map trending topics to XX according companies for me.

Lots of our early users have asked a similar question. We're actively working on search & browse to help improve how you discover and bring together great indexes and stocks, many of which will no doubt be themed. CRISPR is a good example, we've definitely noticed an interest in biotech developing on our platform, e.g. https://enombic.com/aml/biotech.

Another neat thing is to see how the metrics improve when you bring differently-themed indexes together (e.g. https://enombic.com/aml/diversified), since the underlying assets are more decorrelated.
