Welcome to the June edition of Neudata’s Tidbits for data providers. This week marks the launch of the Neudata Industry Survey 2024, our first industry-wide survey. It’s a give-to-get for both buyers and sellers in the data industry and asks questions about budget, barriers and popular categories of data.

Like me, you probably get asked to fill out surveys all the time, so we’ve thought a lot about making this as painless as possible.It takes less than 5 minutes and everyone who completes the survey will have the chance to win a $500 gift card in our prize draw.

SYSTEMATIC MACRO DATA

While the alternative data market has taken off in the past few years, it can still be a challenge to find datasets that can produce trading signals for systematic macro and multi-asset strategies. Some popular data categories for these buyers include:

• Macro
• Events and political risk data
• Sentiment

YEAR OF ELECTIONS

With voters in the UK, US and EU casting ballots this year, elections are a popular topic with investors. While traditional methods of analysing elections are well-known, such as polling data, alternative data can offer additional perspectives. This includes sentiment and search data, and tracking campaigns through jet tracking and ad spend.

If you are currently monetising data within any of these categories, sign up to the Neudata platform and advertise your products for free.
