Announcement - Forum on News Analytics applied to Trading and Risk Control
Date: 9 November 2009
Venue: MWB, Canada Square, Canary Wharf LONDON
It is widely recognised news plays a key role in financial markets.
Traders and other market participants digest news rapidly and update
their asset positions accordingly. The sources and volumes of news
continue to grow and there is alpha generating potential in those
technologies that aid intelligent and efficient processing of news.
New technologies that allow traders and investment managers to
automate or semi-automate news collection, extraction, aggregation and
categorisation are emerging. Further a few niche analytics companies
(RavenPack, AlphaSimplex) in partnership with established newswire
providers (Thomson Reuters, Dow Jones) have developed commercial
applications which process the textual input of news stories to
determine quantitative sentiment scores. These can then form inputs to
enhance financial models for trading, fund management and risk control.
This forum brings together a few leading players in this space and
will explore the current knowledge and applications. It will be a
unique opportunity to gain an insight into this new area. The evening
will finish with a networking session where solution providers can meet
potential clients over a glass of wine.
