For Acadian Asset Management, the hunt for new opportunities arising from alternative datasets is nothing new. Ryan Stever, director of global macro quantitative research at Acadian, says the firm has been looking at new and novel datasets for more than three decades, “going back to hand-entering data in the 1980s.” So Acadian’s new partnership with Microsoft, he says extends a “long tradition of being at the leading edge of acquiring new and novel datasets to extract valuable investment signals.”
