Factor investing, a cornerstone strategy for decades, is evolving. A recent report published by Dimitris Melas in the Journal of Portfolio Management concludes that incorporating factors continues to be relevant. Today, factor investing includes innovative new ideas, such as the use of alternative data.
Technology, like natural language processing and machine learning, scans and analyzes regulatory filings, news reports, social media, and other sources of intelligence. The data is used to identify investment ideas and trending themes. These alternative datasets are essential in factor investing in 2022 and will continue to be more central in the future.
As one of the world’s leading alternative data providers, TipRanks provides alternative data to leading quant funds. These are three of our most popular datasets.

We have back-tested this strategy since 2016 and discovered that stocks with a maximum Smart Score have outperformed the S&P 500 by 73% since 2016.
