Alternative Data

Proprietary research insights support due diligence on stocks being considered for portfolio entry. Sometimes, the view from the sky does not match the report from the investment banker so additional intelligence provides a valuable evidence-based indicator. Once under management, research is used to monitor assets providing fundamentals ahead of quarterly reports whilst also tracking ESG and CSR factors.
