Problem
COVID has and continues to impact the lives of people globally. The pandemic was a catalyst in global economic change, proving to be a daunting time financially for many. Pew Research Center reported that roughly half of non-retired adults say the economic consequences of COVID will make it harder for them to achieve their financial goals.
Unfortunately many investors still rely heavily on traditional data sources, which can lack transparency, streamlined delivery, and alternative viewpoints. Traditional data sources such as:
- Financial Statements
- Press Releases
- Management Presentations
Statista reported that in 2020, 38% of hedge fund managers who were using alternative data globally believed that alternative data will be widely adopted in the next three to five years. The respective five year returns for AI/ML, systematic, and normal hedge funds:
- 7.6%
- 5.22%
- 6.03%
Solution
GZI delivers cutting edge alternative data to users in search of higher returns and less volatility. While we don’t actually do the investing for you, we provide the necessary resources for you to make informed decisions. Alternative data helps investors get more accurate, faster, and granular insights/metrics.
Investors often use robo advisors, automated, algorithm-driven financial planning services that oftentimes lack accessibility to alternative data.
Our 2020 & 2021 Data Results
- 2020: 51% higher than robo advisors
- 2021: 23% higher than robo advisors
- Consistently on par with the top hedge funds in the world
We resell the industry agnostic and sector specific alternative data used to outperform some of the top funds on Wall St., back to clients across more than 4 continents and 16 countries.
