Alternative data is non-financial data which can be tied to various securities.
Financial data, for example, would be EUR USD spot prices. Non-financial data (i.e. "alternative data") could be healthcare reports which you could theoretically couple to e.g. pharma stocks.
- bostik 8y agoThere are quite a few, and I can think of these off the top of my head: - Real-time weather data from major ports and across the main shipping lines - Telemetry from crop and soil report systems - Up-to-date satellite imagery of basically anything large under construction (solar farms, factories, ...) Provide information like that in a machine-readable, consistent format and you have a business. Btw... Using satellite images to track car manufacturers' inventory levels is an old idea, used for more than a decade.
