Every analyst has a set of indicators that he heavily relies on when making forecasts. The key to well-informed, smart forecasting is gathering dynamic financial content from as many sources as possible in critical mass, in real-time, and then having the ability to receive the collected data in a single visual layout that will allow for instant comparison and inference. Without Connotate’s Agents, it’s impossible for anyone to manually mine, integrate and monitor the depth and breadth of dynamic financial content in real-time.

With Connotate Agent Community the data and intelligence you collect is only limited by your imagination. The Agents below are just a sampling of the value you can unleash.

Job Postings Agent - You may wish to track the daily or weekly job postings of companies your interested in.  Collecting that data manually on a daily basis would be an impossible task.

Agents can monitor, count and keep track of the number of job postings on company websites.  To make the data easy to consume, Agents plot job posting totals for each company on a single chart.

Intelligent software Agents extract information from many structured and unstructured sources and deliver it back to you in an easy-to-understand format.  In this case, Agents are reporting on video game sales reported by VG Chartz.

Stock Blogs – Perhaps you’re interested in blog postings on specific companies to determine sentiment, consumer and investor enthusiasm or level of confidence.  You can quickly create an Agent to monitor the blogs you most rely on and deliver postings on relevant names or search phrases.  Agent results can display whatever you wish – from simple hyperlinked headlines and dates to full story text!

Wonder what’s being said about a product or competitor?  Agents can be trained to monitor blogs and alert you when a keyword, company name or product is mentioned.

 

Hedge Funds Applications
With the SEC and other financial regulatory agencies pursuing means of exercising their authority over the $1.6 Trillion Hedge Fund sector, it has never been more important for hedge fund managers to pursue long-term, sustainable growth to establish and maintain relationships with investors. With the SEC closely scrutinizing investment strategies, fund performance, each manager's experience, and the risks of putting money in a fund, the need to demonstrate robust investment processes backed by a comprehensive set of solid, enforced risk management tools is more important than ever.

Agents deliver up-to-date SEC filing detail for the companies and industries you choose.

SEC Filings – Rather than going to the SEC site every day, why not create an Agent to deliver up-to-date SEC filings for the companies of most interest to you.
