AltX insights include detailed intelligence on positions, leverage ratios, network graphing, news and events associated with funds updated in real-time, as well as access to regulatory documents including ADVs, 13fs and more that round out the data set, making it one of the most accurate available. Proprietary algorithms and newly structured data help unlock the data universe around hedge fund investing, and due diligence creates a cohesive platform that can be accessed individually or collectively across a team or firm. The platform’s superior intelligence helps firms who service, target and invest in the hedge fund industry, find new clients and know their existing clients better.

Jack McDonald, President and CEO of Conifer Financial Services, a leading Asset Management servicing firm, commented, “AltX allows us to incorporate new technology to give our clients the opportunity to access the best data, insights and analytics.
