The AltHub Advantage with CrowdThnk

CrowdThnk is an investment research platform providing quantified market positioning data on financial stocks.
AltHub advances the mission of CrowdThnk in providing alpha-generating datasets to investors. One of the case-studies discussed is below.
Case-Study: Harnessing Crowdsourced Data for Enhanced Market Insights

Challenge:

CrowdThnk, a firm specializing in quantifying market consensus positioning, faced the challenge of effectively leveraging crowdsourced and big data analytics to provide impactful insights. Their objective was to deliver alpha and gain a market edge through comprehensive forecasts for over 500 stocks.

Solution:

Our AltHub platform brought CrowdThnk’s datasets into action by transforming them into “ready to model” datasets and demonstrating their alpha potential through systematic back-testing. A variety of strategies used by fundamental long-only investors and sophisticated long-short hedge funds were tested that revealed the underlying power of CrowdThnk’s dataset for all investor types.

Integration:

We went beyond data analysis and demonstrated the outperformance of CrowdThnk’s datasets against industry benchmarks. By drilling down into the data, we identified the sectors that offered the most alpha from this distinct dataset. The result? Compelling and easily interpretable visualizations that underscored the value of CrowdThnk’s data. Specifically, by focusing on CrowdThnk’s Healthcare Top 2 Decile Long-Only Portfolio, we saw an impressive alpha of 16.04%.

Impact:

The transformed dataset has emerged as a valuable resource for institutional investors pursuing alpha generation and risk mitigation. We highlighted how CrowdThnk’s Positioning Score dashboard and the corresponding dataset can serve as a fundamental strategy, particularly for those navigating timing, earnings, and political events. In summary, we transformed a dataset into a powerful tool that drives smarter and more informed investment decisions.

Cmind's Rapid Revenue Transformation with AltHub’s Technology

Background: Cmind, a leader in providing AI-infused insights on company risks and performance, always had a vast treasure trove of data. They employed cutting-edge AI to analyze financial statements, regulatory filings, news, social media, and more, serving portfolio managers, accountants, and lawyers.
The Challenge: While Cmind was adept at understanding and forecasting industry risks, they hadn’t yet unlocked the full potential of monetizing their data efficiently.
The AltHub Solution: By harnessing the state-of-the-art data transformation platform AltLab360, Cmind seamlessly refined their extensive data reserves. In record time, they crafted a new, high-value alternative dataset ready for financial modeling and integration.
The Outcome: Cmind opened up an entirely new, robust revenue stream, accelerating their growth trajectory.
Leveraging AltHub's platform and expert team was a fantastic experience for us at Cmind. Their platform empowered us to quickly transform our extensive data into a valuable alternative dataset, paving the way for a revenue avenue we hadn't tapped into. I’d recommend the AltHub team to all of those looking to create a new revenue stream with their untapped data.
