AltX Unveils Return Data on 80% of ‘Billion Dollar Club’ Funds

SAN FRANCISCO--()--AltX, the San Francisco based hedge fund intelligence platform, today announces the launch of AltX Estimates through which clients now have the most transparency available across the entire hedge fund market. With the newest feature, the AltX platform now has return data on over 17,000 funds, including performance data on over 80% of the ‘Billion Dollar Club’ funds.

AltX Estimates delivers extremely accurate performance estimates for funds, even those that have not publicly shared their returns. The proprietary model leverages information from regulatory filings combined with other data and techniques proprietary to AltX. The process does not use 13F data as an input. Examples of fund managers in the data set include: D.E. Shaw, Farallon, Taconic, Eton Park, Viking, and hundreds of others that don’t report to third party databases.

The new data provides a more holistic view of investment opportunities, gives context to fund performance across the hedge fund industry, and allows better peer analysis for investors and for funds themselves than can be obtained from any other source. The AltX platform includes detailed intelligence on positions, networks, news and events associated with funds, updated in real-time.

Sam Hocking, CEO of AltX added, “Our goal is to provide the greatest amount of high-quality data to clients to allow a level of transparency to this opaque market that has never been seen before.”
