Between the Lines - Indicators

btli is harnessing the unprecedented flood of data to unleash its value to financial managers. we do this by anchoring our analytics in social science theory and advanced text analytics to identify market trends with a broader set of nontraditional data. the relationship between uncertainty and economic welfare has been well documented in economic literature and recent research has demonstrated a strong correlation between reduced levels of investment and higher levels of uncertainty. increased uncertainty is known to cause consumers and firms to pare back spending and will drive capital towards less risky investments (i.e. gold, us treasury bonds).though well understood theoretically, uncertainty has been more difficult to measure and quantify. to address this, btli has created a novel and highly innovative approach to measuring uncertainty using open source data and advanced text analytics
