Geography
Australia — Sydney-headquartered, ASX-listed equities universe
Data Coverage
ASX announcements, consumer signals, retail data, property signals, sentiment intelligence
Actowiz Solutions delivered alternative-data intelligence for a Sydney-based investment fund — combining ASX announcement monitoring, consumer behaviour signals, retail data, and sentiment intelligence into a real-time alt-data feed for Australian equities investing.
Client Overview
The client is a Sydney-headquartered investment fund managing Australian equities with a long/short strategy. Their investment edge depended on being faster and broader than competitors in identifying market-moving information across the ASX-listed universe.
Australian equities markets have distinctive data sources — ASX announcements, ASIC filings, and a consumer economy generating rich alternative signals — that local funds can exploit better than global competitors.
Business Challenges
ASX Announcement Latency
ASX announcements move stocks within minutes; even small delays in parsing meant lost trading edge.
Consumer Signal Mapping
Australian consumer behaviour signals — retail pricing, app downloads, review velocity — needed mapping to ASX tickers.
Property Market Signals
Australia's property-heavy economy meant property data was a leading indicator for many ASX-listed stocks.
Sentiment & News Intelligence
Australian financial news and social sentiment moved retail-investor-heavy ASX stocks.
Project Objectives
The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:
-
Parse ASX announcements with minimal latency
-
Map consumer behaviour signals to ASX-listed tickers
-
Track property market signals as leading indicators
-
Aggregate Australian financial sentiment and news
-
Deliver alt-data signals into the fund's investment systems
