Unlocking Market Success with Insider Transactions and Advanced Analytics

Advances in machine learning, AI, and other predictive quantitative investment techniques continue to push the marketplace towards increasingly complex solutions. What gives this push momentum is the quest for persistent signals indicative of future performance, in particular those signals which run contrary to the majority of data points available.

The value of this type of data is clear. It is critical to the investment strategies of the best quantitative hedge funds in the world and both extensive industry and academic research demonstrate that the actions of company insiders provide consistent predictive power across all market conditions. In short, if insider transactions data is not already a part of your investment process, it should be.
