Private Equity Whitepaper: Eagle Alpha released the second edition of its Private Equity whitepaper, “Profiting from Alternative Data”. As more and more capital flows into private markets, investors are turning to alternative data to gain an edge across deal origination, due diligence and post-acquisition. Contact Darren Laheen, our Head of Private Equity (darren.laheen@eaglealpha.com) to receive a copy of the whitepaper, which includes great insights and use cases.

Quality Screening

Eagle Eye reports are available on our Data Sourcing platform. Clients can now view detailed reports on the quality of 15 alternative datasets with a B2B dataset being the latest addition. Please click on this link.

Prioritization

This month Eagle Alpha’s alpha capture product received 33 trade ideas covering 23 companies, macro and commodity ideas. The main theme was around the holiday shopping season and who are the likely winners and losers. Streaming providers were another theme this month as Disney launched it’s new service. A geo-location provider received the Alpha Capture ‘Top Idea’ award at our London Alternative Data event for their trade idea on Tesco and peers as it analyzed who was winning in the battle for loyalty between brands. These ideas are located on Eagle Alpha’s Data Sourcing platform and if you would like a demo please get in contact at enquiries@eaglealpha.com.

Case Study

An Eagle Alpha report from July 9^th2019, using trends in employment data from companies in the semiconductor equipment industry, raised doubts about an expected second half industry recovery. The data was pointing to management controlling expenses, rather than hiring for an expansion in business. LRCX and KLAC reported and validated the lack of any meaningful recovery in the industry in the near term.

Legal & Compliance

Insights from our latest webinar with Lowenstein Sandler: “Peter Greene highlighted that app tracking is one of the topics Lowenstein Sandler gets the most questions about as many of their clients are looking into this alternative data category. He noted that this category is interesting from a compliance point of view because the ways Apple and Google treat their developers are quite different. As a consequence, buyside firms need to pay some attention to app developer agreements.”
