Global TAM: $8BAsset Management
The Problem
- 85% of active managers underperform their benchmark over a 10-year period
- Traditional factor models are crowded, eroding returns as more capital chases the same signals
- Alternative data sources like satellite imagery and web traffic remain underutilized by most managers
- Earnings surprises drive outsized stock moves but are poorly predicted by consensus estimates
How AlphaForge Works
Alternative Data Alpha Signals
Extracts investment signals from satellite imagery, web traffic, patent filings, and supply chain data to identify opportunities before consensus.
Factor Crowding Detection
Identifies when popular strategies become overcrowded by measuring factor concentration, positioning similarity, and flow momentum.
Earnings Prediction
Predicts earnings surprises using supply chain signals, alternative data, and NLP analysis of management commentary and guidance.
