Our Data Analytics
Insider Transactions
The trading activity of company directors (insiders) can offer valuable
clues to future share performance although most trades offer no insight
at all.
To profit from insider trades investors need to screen out the ‘noise’ and
focus on the most relevant trades. Identifying trades which depart from
normal trading patterns and reveal a genuine conviction by insiders is
our focus. Those trades are rare and cannot be identified from source
data alone.
Our specialist service enables clients to generate alpha from timely
delivery and analysis of trades and related factors. Backed by extensive
historic research, our data ensures the truly indicative trades are
brought to the attention of our clients in a timely manner with added
context.
Share Buybacks
Our Company buyback data tracks and analyses the amount and value of
shares bought back by listed companies (Issuers). Covering every market
where share repurchases are reported, our global offering also includes
‘Buyback Announcements’ which detail the Issuers stated intentions
before buybacks are executed.
By comparing each company’s stated intentions with their executed
trades, we are able to establish patterns to help predict likely trading
decisions ahead.
Our reports and alerts cut through the statistical noise to provide clients
with concise, timely corporate share repurchase data tailored to their
stock universe.
Director Insights
We monitor reported changes in company boardrooms as they occur,
giving clients concise information on movements in Boardroom
personnel. Including exact Job Titles, biographies, appointment dates,
and role changes our data gives a clear profile of each Corporate Board
and the changes within it.
Director biographies, salaries and the monetary value of their holdings
ensures clients can establish the most influential members of a Corporate
Board and track important changes in the stocks that matter most to
them
US Politicians Data
Reporting rules in the US require Congressmen and Senators to publish details of their trades in company shares globally. The data shows which politicians have a vested interest in certain stocks and when they acquired it. This helps clients see who owns the stocks of interest to them, and see a list of the stocks each individual Politician owns.
