“Big Data in Capital Markets: The Placebo Effect?” a new report from market research from Aite Group, examines whether the move to adopt Big Data methods and strategies in financial services is, as the report asks, “jargon or strategy?”
Big Data consists of very large volumes of structured and unstructured information that when reviewed can uncover trends, links and forecasts that cannot be detected otherwise. Advances in data technologies and analysis tools have given way to this new way of monitoring massive datasets.
For financial services firms, Big Data strategies have been considered for sentiment analysis for trading, risk analytics, and market surveillance — all of which are covered in the report, penned by Aite Group analyst Virginie O’Shea.
The report explores whether Big Data is a “technology? A strategy? A placebo term for all projects that tackle data? And finally, is it actually making an impact in this space?”
The 41-page report, available to Aite clients, is based on interviews with 22 buy-side and sell-side firms and includes 29 infographics.
Aite Group is a research and advisory firm focused on business, technology, and regulatory issues and their impact on the financial services industry, officials say. Aite is headquartered in Boston.
