FactSet, a global provider of integrated financial information, analytical applications, and industry-leading services, announced today a strategic relationship with Eagle Alpha. Eagle Alpha enables asset managers to obtain alpha from alternative data. Through this relationship, FactSet and Eagle Alpha will help clients better understand the alternative data landscape and increase the utilization of unique, non-traditional datasets.

FactSet’s seamlessly integrated content provides clients with global coverage, deep history, and unparalleled transparency. From quotes and news to fundamentals and estimates, clients can integrate this data with their own proprietary data. Now coupled with Eagle Alpha’s alternative data solutions and layered with FactSet’s flexible analytics platform, asset managers have access to a powerful solution that offers new opportunities to drive alpha.

Eagle Alpha's alternative data solutions include Thought Leadership that keeps asset managers on top of best practice regarding how to obtain alpha from alternative data, a Data Insights offering that provides actionable insights based on alternative datasets and a Data Sourcing solution that aggregates alternative datasets worldwide.

“As asset managers seek to innovate and incorporate more and varied content sets into their investment strategies, it is becoming increasingly complex to find alternative data and connect it to traditional data. I am excited to have Eagle Alpha join the Channel Partner program to enhance our client experience and expand our ability to help our clients,” said Dave Hannibal, Global Manager of Channel Partners, FactSet.

“The last major change to the investment process was the introduction of expert networks in the late 1990s. Alternative data is the next. Asset managers are increasingly looking for providers that can help them obtain alpha from alternative data,” said Emmett Kilduff, Founder & CEO of Eagle Alpha. “FactSet is a leader in providing insights based on traditional data and will become a leader in providing insights based non-traditional (alternative) data. We’re proud that they have chosen Eagle Alpha as their preferred alternative data solution.”
