On April 6th, 2022, we held our UNBOUND conference in midtown New York. This session, led by Apptopia, kicked off with an overview of app data capabilities and the type of insights investors can get from it.
Following the SEC's ruling on App Annie, we felt it pertinent to speak directly with the SEC in order to further understand the importance of compliance around alternative data and how to best prepare for SEC examinations.
The settlement stems from alleged misrepresentations that App Annie made in how they handle data from app owners. This app data was from public companies in some instances and so could potentially be considered material non-public information (MNPI).
In this month’s legal & compliance workshop, Lowenstein Sandler joined us to speak about this quarter’s most pertinent topic in the alternative data industry surrounding mobile app data provider, App Annie, and the SEC’s decision to charge them with securities fraud.
Mobile apps provide a wide range of valuable insights surrounding the success of a company through the data points collected on its usage.
On Thursday, April 15th, 2021 we held a workshop deep-dive following the success of our February Hackathon event in February where teams of data hackers competed against each other using a mix of datasets provided by Eagle Alpha data partners.
This case study deck outlines alternative datasets that can be used by investors to monitor the technology hardware and equipment markets.
In this month’s legal workshop, Ronan Crosson, Director, Data Strategy and Analytics, was joined by Ben Kozinn of Lowenstein Sandler and Marissa Dong of Jun he Law Offices to discuss legal developments in China and how it affects the global alternative data landscape.
In this paper Jianming Sun, Data Sourcing & Partnerships for Eagle Alpha outlines the most popular datasets for China. The datasets that are explored are listed below.
Many alternative datasets can be applied to the credit markets as they would be applied to the equity market. For example:
Data from SimilarWeb on Salesforce.com (CRM) showed a strong rebound for some key metrics in the June 2020 quarter. CRM reported a strong quarter and raised guidance when it reported in August.
On this workshop, we discussed the top datasets to replace sell-side estimates in a post-COVID-19 world.
