The Art of Alpha: It’s All About Investment Data Science

In Q2 of 2021, WBR Insights surveyed 300 CEOs, CIOs, Chief Data Information Officers and similar from across APAC, EMEA and North America regions, from asset management firms with an AUM of $1bn - $750bn and hedge funds managers with an AUM of $250m - $10bn to find out what their strategies are for maximizing their data, how they incorporate those data into their investment process and their plans to leverage data science tools to optimize their investment performance.

The results were compiled and anonymized by WBR Insights and are presented here with analysis and commentary from Northern Trust contributors Marc Mallett, Head of Strategy for Asset Servicing, Americas, Paul Fahey, Head of Investment Data Science, and Gary Paulin, Head of Global Strategic Solutions.
