What is Alternative Data?
4
Alternative data is
defined by the beholder.
Newly collected, derived
or formatted data are all
considerations.
Someone’s traditional
data may become
someone else’s
alternative data. For
example, something as
simple as news has been
around for years, but by
structuring and delivering
it in a machine readable
format, it opens up the
opportunity for a different
set of users to analyze.

Textual Data Suite
80% of today’s data is unstructured, much in the form of text. The rise of Artificial Intelligence and Machine
Learning has led to a growing adoption of Natural Language Processing to help uncover additional insights
from textual data.
SCRIPTS Asia Transcripts
Japanese transcripts from often closed, invite-only financial calls and briefings of 1,000+ Asia Pacific companies, both translated and
transcribed to English available exclusively via Xpressfeed, our powerful data feed solution, and Snowflake’s cloud data platform.
Global Machine Readable Transcripts
Textual transcripts data from earnings calls of 11,000+ companies globally delivered in a machine-readable format with metadata
tagging.
Textual Data Analytics
Sentiment scores and behavioral metrics delivered intra-day derived from applying Natural Language Processing to historical
earnings call transcripts of over 11,000 active companies dating back to 2004.
Global Machine Readable Filings
Textual portions of public filings, inclusive of both EDGAR-filed 10Ks/10Qs and ex-US annual/quarterly filings, broken down into
the various sections, such as Management Discussions & Analysis, Risks, Competition, and Intellectual Property for over 50,000+
active and inactive companies globally.
