On May 4th, AIMA and SS&C published a new paper studying how alternative data is being used by the hedge fund industry drawing on a survey of 100 fund managers representing  an estimated $720 bn in AUM. 53% of those survey already use alt data to help generate outperformance and manage risk, however sourcing data and regulatory headwinds still prove challenging. And yet, the analysis shows that there is general optimism regarding how quickly alternative data will be adopted within the hedge fund industry: most managers who are users of alternative data expect this to happen between the next 1 to 5 years. How is your firm positioned for this shift?
