Investment management firms - and the software that empowers - them are increasingly looking beyond traditional financial data.
And integrating ESG factors and harnessing insights from alternative data sources like social media and news sentiment can create a competitive edge.
However, extracting meaningful signals for investment decision-making requires specialized analytical expertise.
