About sessions
Financial markets are influenced by news, (micro)blogs and other categories of online streaming data. These sources of information reach financial market participants, such as traders, analysts, and fund managers, synchronously and asynchronously. In the past, informed traders and fund managers scrutinized this information to make asset allocation and risk management decisions.
In fact, together they create an efficient marketplace, as postulated in EMH by Nobel laureate Fama and his colleagues. A passive investor invests in a market index, believing that over the long term the investment will go up with the market, the index. However, active investors want to take advantage of market inefficiencies and seek ‘alpha’ in the short term.
In this webinar, experts in the field discuss the findings and explore different ways traders and fund managers can find the elusive “alpha.”
