This eBook by Maiden Century, explores the five cutting-edge strategies used by investors to extract alpha from alternative data. Learn how leading investment managers consistently generate Alpha by finding the best datasets for each name, combining multiple datasets, and applying custom models to individual companies. Discover how the democratization of data technology has leveled the playing field, allowing even smaller managers to implement sophisticated strategies for alpha generation.

• Combining Data Sources: The impact of layering multiple datasets together to increase forecasting accuracy and reduce prediction error.
• Custom Models for Each Company: Why one-size-fits-all models don’t work and how custom-built models tailored to individual companies can improve predictions.
• Faster Time to Insight: Why waiting for perfect information is costly, and how top investors reduce time to actionable insights by leveraging data earlier in the process.
• Predicting Management Guidance: Using data not just to predict earnings surprises, but to anticipate management guidance, which often has a more significant impact on stock performance.
