What is alternative data?
Alternative data is fetched from non-traditional sources such as financial transactions, estate figures, geo-location data, rentals and leases, surveys, satellite data, and much more. Traditional data sources like financial statements, sales figures, etc., are not always capable of providing an accurate and complete picture of the investing scene. This is the reason why many progressive companies turn to alternative data sources to complement their analysis and decision-making.
How do you gather alternative data?
The best way to collect alternative data is by web scraping with the help of automated tools and proxy servers. Some other options are raw data acquisition and third-party licensing.
How is alternative data used?
Hedge fund managers and investors use alternative data to evaluate market tendencies and identify investment opportunities. Also, various businesses can use it to research consumer behavior, and governments may use it for policy making.
All of our products are covered by Technology Errors & Omissions (Technology E&O) and Cyber Insurance.
