Neudata Alternative Data Summit 2018 London: Peter Hafez

This market-leading two-day event brings together the entire Alternative Data ecosystem of Vendors, Investors, FinTech and Financial Services firms. Ideas are created, partnerships are formed, and future trends are not just imagined but turned into reality.

The two-day event will attract some 250 delegates and will largely be comprised of senior attendees (CEOs and Managing Directors) representing the investment management community and belonging to the biggest names from the Hedge Fund and Asset Management world. They will be joined by Investors and Alt Data Vendors. Neudata is uniquely placed to put on this event since we are an independent trusted advisor to all parties.

Peter will participate in a stand alone presentation on Exploiting Sentiment in the Investment Process. The Big Data revolution has enabled new ways of constructing orthogonal alpha signals around alternative data. In contrast with market data, most alternative data, and especially news, is available in an uninterrupted fashion, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In this presentation, Peter will showcase RavenPack’s latest research on how intraday news patterns dictate the construction and implementation of sentiment strategies across thousands of news sources. He will show how to detect these intraday news patterns and how to take advantage of them for profit when constructing trading strategies.
