Gain your edge in financial markets
How to overcome blind spots in financial markets
Financial institutions, hedge funds, and sophisticated traders constantly seek an edge by incorporating new data sources into their models. Traditional financial data (stock prices, volumes, etc.) is widely available but fails to capture the market's collective expectation about real-world events that can drastically impact asset prices, such as election outcomes, regulatory decisions, or geopolitical events. This data gap creates significant blind spots, making it difficult to accurately price event-driven risk and capitalize on new opportunities.
Key challenges
Difficulty in systematically quantifying the market's subjective probabilities of future events
Inability to build and backtest trading strategies based on real-world event outcomes
High costs and technical complexity associated with integrating with multiple, fragmented prediction market platforms
Missing a key source of alpha by failing to incorporate crowd-sourced wisdom into financial models
