Quantitative investors have long used traditional data sources, such as income statements
and balance sheets of public firms, to drive stock selection models. With the explosion in the amount and diversity of data in the last five years, alternative data sources are quickly revolutionizing quantitative investing. Alternative data sources can include natural language processing of news and social media content, review of credit card transactions and consumer emails, and geolocation data using cell phone signals and satellite images.

Join the Japan Alternative Data Accelerator Association (JADAA) and the Financial Data
Professional (FDP) Institute for a discussion on the applications of alternative data in financial markets.
