How alternative data is a research necessity in today’s dynamic market – REPLAY NOW

Submitted 06/11/2020 - 10:17am -

Economist John Kenneth Galbraith once remarked: “One of the greatest pieces of economic wisdom is to know what you do not know.”

As global markets experience greater volatility in 2020, the opportunities for active fund managers to seek out alpha-generating positions have improved. However, with heightened volatility comes heightened risk. This webinar explores the extent to which the impact of Covid-19 on global equities has influenced how portfolio managers construct trade positions. And whether accessing non-traditional data sets has helped them in this endeavour; both with respect to idea generation, and risk management. 

 

In this webinar, the panelists discuss:

  • How equity l/s managers are evolving their investment process using non-traditional data sets.
  • How is data management improving/solidifying their approach to risk management?
  • Why not all alternative data sets are created equal (GPS data on shopping density in supermarkets doesn’t necessarily mean people are spending money)
  • Why accessing anonymous credit card data sets, as one example, can provide deeper insights into consumer retail activity (i.e. more tactical long/short positions for those trading consumer stocks)
  • How should analysts/PMs best approach incorporating alternative data sets into their existing infrastructure?
  • What are the risks and opportunities, in today’s market environment?

Barbara Ann Bernard // CIO // Wincrest Capital
Brad Schneider // CEO // NoMad Data
Nikhil Nadkarni // Vice President, Data Products at Envestnet | Yodlee
