Build your data program with Neudata

Neudata provides independent research and expert consultancy on market / alternative data sources and use cases. We do not provide the data itself or act as a broker.

What is alternative data?

Used by investment managers for over 20 years, alternative data is gathered from non-traditional sources to help firms uncover alpha within their investing processes. Examples include satellite image data, credit card transaction data and data that’s scraped from websites.

Many investment managers consider their alternative data sources to provide a competitive edge and consistently seek out new, unique datasets.

What is market data?

Market data is considered by many to be ‘table stakes’ for operating a successful trading strategy and allows investors to see a security’s latest price and related information about that instrument, such as short interest, volatility and volume.

Some data users define the market data space more broadly, preferring the term traditional data, in order to capture datasets like news, geolocation, fund/asset/retail flows and human capital.

“[Neudata events] have been really useful for me and my team because we’ve had some ideas prompted for things we can look out for trading and we’ve met both data providers we didn’t know existed [and] data providers that we did know were there, but we didn’t know some of the things they were doing.”
