The author analyzes the efficacy of using Ravenpack News Sentiment data in explaining the cross-section of stock returns and risk.
Stan constructs several News Sentiment signals using both the level and dispersion of Sentiment scores.
His results indicate that News Sentiment factors are effective in explaining the cross-section of stock returns. News sentiment signals are orthogonal to alternative proxies for Sentiment (e.g., IBES or short interest) and other systematic equity strategy factors used in Barra equity risk models (24 factors in total). The investment horizon for using the data is relatively short because the information ratio decay in the signal is fast.
MSCI uses RavenPack News Sentiment data to enhance Sentiment signal in the short-term trading Barra risk model.

High inflation has returned in developed markets after decades of lying low. In our latest paper, we show how to build an inflation-based asset allocation strategy using sentiment data and we illustrate that sentiment-based strategies outperform models that depend merely on past observed inflation values.
This year's RavenPack Research Symposium brought two intense days of knowledge sharing in London and New York, from 25 top experts in natural language processing, quantitative investing and machine learning. Together, we explored how firms can leverage new language models to generate alpha, better manage risk and respond to calls for more sustainable investment practices.
Human capital is at the heart of value creation. Our latest research demonstrates how unprecedented workforce insights, sourced from over 200 million job postings, can generate more alpha.
