Sourcing Alternative Data: Opportunities and Challenges

The incumbent market data role has evolved in the shadow of the financial crisis, prioritizing skill-sets necessary for cost-cutting, efficiencies, and regulatory change.  However, the new day represented by alternative data is already here.  While its impacts may not yet be felt by market data mangers outside the quant world, almost all “traditional” players are developing or actively deploying alternative data-dependent strategies.

This panel will outline the new skills required by an alternative data-influenced universe and make the case for why market data managers should fight to be integral to the sourcing process.
