  • Spotlight on: Satellite data

  • Verifying Japanese inflation statistics using alt data

    We summarise conclusions drawn from an academic paper comparing Japanese CPI data with a Neudata listed alternative data provider in an attempt to evaluate the accuracy of official statistics vs a ‘true’ inflation measure. The authors conclude that 1) the Japanese CPI is a poor predictor of actual inflation when measured inflation is below c.2%, and 2) the US PCE deflator methodology is superior to the Japanese CPI methodology. We also evaluate several alternative Japanese data providers and recommend further academic reading on this topic.

  • Backtesting psychometric profiling data

    We summarise key findings from a backtest using an alternative data provider’s cognitive data scores and shareholder returns. Scores were sourced from statements made by company executives on quarterly earnings calls. In short, the backtest supports the view that higher than trend value scores are likely to precede shareholder gains.

  • Using Alternative Data to Evaluate Pharmaceutical Pipelines

    We summarise key findings of a research paper co-authored by a pharmaceutical data provider. Using Takeda Pharmaceutical’s FY 2017 Q4 pipeline as an example, we also evaluate how phase transition data can be used by investors to gain a better understanding of which drugs are most likely to be approved by the FDA and to analyse the health of a pharmaceutical company’s pipeline.

  • Measuring the unmeasurable: An alternative data story

    Sports Direct and Ryanair have both demonstrated share price volatility in the last few years that many attribute to poor labour management practices. Finding a way to measure social intangibles, and in particular monitoring significant changes to such, could therefore be a useful leading indicator in predicting share price movements. We outline 1) ways in which one can measure the ‘S’ factor, 2) studies that support incorporating social intangibles into the investment process and 3) examples of alternative data providers that can help an investor do so.
