Switzerland-headquartered alternative data provider Sentifi has introduced an intelligence platform for retail investors.
The Portfolio Intelligence tool will allow retail investors to monitor market shifts for their equities portfolios, both as a whole or for individual positions, in real time.
These data sets are usually available to institutional investors, Sentifi said, and retail clients have not been able to access market signal monitors.
The toll collects insights from alternative sources such as social media platforms and news outlets.
‘Crucial’ information
The Portfolio Intelligence Platform will give investors the ability to:
- Track when the risk profile of stocks in a portfolio is changing in real time;
- Understand how institutional investors are shifting their allocation to sectors, regions, market caps and stocks, and assess whether an investor should follow their lead;
- Detect outliers in a portfolio that represents an investment opportunity or risk signal; and,
- Understand the portfolio’s exposure to market-moving events as they occur.
“Alternative data offers investment insights previously unavailable in traditional data sets, and Sentifi is democratising access to these insights with this platform,” said Marina Goche, chief executive of Sentifi.
“When it comes to investing, information or trading signals that do not come directly from the issuing company are crucial when looking to make informed investment decisions.
“Sentifi’s new platform now enables non-institutional investors to monitor investment signals from a diverse range of sources including Twitter, news outlets and blogs to formulate their investment strategy and monitor their portfolios.”
