How Quants Gain Alpha by Leveraging Unique Alternative Datasets
Join us for this webinar featuring ExtractAlpha and Smartkarma CEOs to learn about new datasets, including one that uses SmartKarma's unique dataset covering Independent Research Provider reports: IRP Sentiment Signal.
Learn how to use:
-
A measurement of sentiment using bullish/bearish tags AND proprietary NLP of the report text
- An intelligent signal that assigns more weight to insights from providers with stronger track records
- Uncorrelated alpha in a dollar-neutral setting for developed Asian market stocks
The IRP Sentiment Signal was developed by ExtractAlpha using the most useful IRP content from Smartkarma’s network of IRP research.
