News Analytics Gen
Understanding and using the news can be a great advantage to any securities or security-related company. Through Global Access Holdings corporate partnerships, we have established an extremely sophisticated application that will keep you ahead of the curve. GAH News Analytics is a proprietary news and information alerting mechanism, which systematically identifies and weights news and information. News alerts are calculated for every sector, industry, and security and allow clients to be alerted to the acceleration of news and information into their respective markets. GAH News Analytics are integrated throughout several product lines ranging from trading algorithms to company and expert access networks. With more and more information being produced each day, the ability of a banker, trader, or even company management to react to information is directly correlated to the initial notification of such news. This is where GAH News Analytics can provide a proprietary edge.
Information, news, media, and communications are growing at an exponential pace, creating a challenging situation for anyone dependent upon analyzing and reacting to that information. GAH News Analytics is a solution to filtering and simplifying the complexities of this challenge.
TRADING APPLICATIONS:
Within trading applications, clients will be alerted to any significantly increasing levels of “noise” on a given trade or position through news alert notifications. The news analytics alerts are delivered in real-time, in order to maximize their effectiveness. The opportunity for trading algorithms is obvious, with quantification of information flow being a key indicator of volatility as well.
BANKING APPLICATIONS:
Investment banking activity is extremely focused upon information flow and its impact in the marketplace. From a potential security offering to the announcement of a merger or acquisition, the ability to effectively and instantly track news and information around a client is a necessity. Utilizing the News Analytics Gen platform, clients can build custom alerts and also utilize historical trend and information growth statistics to assist in every aspect of the investment banking cycle.
CORPORATE / IR APPLICATIONS
From a corporation’s point of view, maintaining a firm grasp on the level of information in the marketplace about themselves and their major competitors and suppliers is vital to maintaining a positive investor relations perspective. It can be used to evaluate the efficacy of a new product's marketing or better understand where the buzz is being generated. As such, news alerts can specifically report and notify key officers of increases and decreases in the “noise” surrounding their firm. For example, if a blogger generates a buzz with an article about their firm or product, management can know almost instantaneously if that article is generating an impact.
