Superforecasting And Noise Reduction In Financial Analysis
Posted by Cameron Hight, CFA | CEO of Alpha Theory on September 19, 2019
Mental math, emotion, and bias are sneaking into your decisions and it's costing you alpha. Alpha Theory is proven to dramatically improve decision discipline, confidence, and maximize portfolio probability-weighted return.
The most important data for many firms is stuck inside of individual Excel files, emails, and word documents. Using tools like Alpha Theory Excel Connect™, Alpha Theory API, and Alpha Theory Data Integration tool, we unlock and centralize that critical information inside of the firm to create Alerting/Reporting, Optimal Position Sizing, and Historical Analytics.
Centralizing data allows for unique alerting and reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. Answer questions like, “which research needs to be updated?”, “which positions need to be added to or trimmed?”, “how far are our estimates from consensus?”, etc.
When all the data used to make decisions is centralized, a rule-based, repeatable position-sizing methodology can be built. Alpha Theory Decision Process Tool™ provides an easy to set up a model for ensuring that idea quality and position size are highly correlated.
One of the largest inefficiencies of having data scattered throughout an organization is the loss of history and the learnings that come with it. Alpha Theory Historical Analytics™ analyzes the effectiveness of the position-sizing model and analyst skill while pointing out ways to improve each.
For more complex environments where out of the box tools are not sufficient, Alpha Theory Advisors™ has a stable of industry thought leaders in investment technology implementation, risk, and data science to build the ideal solution.

FURTHER INFORMATION
Alpha Theory is the premier solution used by portfolio managers to develop an efficient portfolio. Alpha Theory leverages a firm's research and instinct to build a repeatable system for optimally sizing positions.
Security is of paramount importance in every technical decision that Alpha Theory makes. To provide a scalable global application, we have used a foundation of world-class security techniques and partnered with leading security vendors to ensure the highest level of protection for data entrusted to us. We are continually evaluating new technologies to make sure we remain at the forefront of cloud security.
Alpha Theory's security engineers use a top down approach that starts with physical security at the data center and goes all the way through the kernel of the application. Alpha Theory's goal is to constantly improve and test each point in the chain to make sure that we provide the ultimate security protection for our customers.
We start by managing our equipment in a co-location facility that has biometric security access features including biometric recognition technology, a 24 hour on-site security presence, fire and electrical suppression systems, backup generators, redundant HVAC, and multiple caged equipment protection with man-trap protection.
In addition to the reliability features that are included in our data center security, we have multiple Tier-1 feeds which provide access to the data exchanges and the Internet. We maintain a completely replicated environment off-site in the event of an issue with our primary datacenter.
Alpha Theory uses encrypted on site storage backup and, each night, encrypts and securely transfers our critical data offsite to a geographically diverse datacenter with highspeed connectivity to our primary datacenter.
Alpha Theory uses firewalling at multiple layers as well as network and host-based intrusion detection and prevention systems to protect the application from potential threats. In addition, we utilize continuous vulnerability scanning technologies (SANS Top 20 and OWASP Top 10) and perform annual penetration tests against our application and network infrastructure.
We protect data stored in our databases with industry-leading encryption and strongly recommend any data exchanged with us be transmitted over secure channels using public/private key encryption. All customer data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, unless a customer specifically opts out of these protections.
All communication is protected with an Extended Validation SSL (EV SSL) Certificate utilizing AES 256-bit Encryption. Look for the green address bar and the locked icon to ensure that communication with Alpha Theory is completely encrypted.
Alpha Theory uses a single username and password for each session. The credentials are encrypted before transmission and verification. We require that users create strong passwords and force logouts on inactive client sessions. We offer and encourage the use of IP address restricted logins and two factor authentication (2FA) which utilize one-time passwords for additional security.
Alpha Theory takes precautions to partition application data so that data from one customer cannot be accessed by users from another customer.
Alpha Theory provides a methodology that ensures that only the people inside your company that you select are able to alter your company data. This methodology is extremely customizable so that specific funds and assets can be administered by as many or as few users as the manager prefers.
Only a limited number of employees at Alpha Theory have access to database information, reducing the number of points of access. Employee access to all servers and environments is reviewed and monitored on a regular basis.
Alpha Theory employees with access to client data sign a trading conduct agreement that requires them to trade only mutual fund or ETFs and individual securities with prior written approval. Alpha Theory can request all employee security holdings and trading activity.
To transform the investment process by instilling discipline in every decision
We've assembled a dynamic, cross-functional leadership team with decades of capital markets industry experience, a deep working knowledge of the investment process and of leading-edge technologies.
Prior to founding and developing Alpha Theory in 2005, Cameron worked as an equity research analyst for 10 years, covering primarily technology companies and supporting over $20B in transactions for firms such as Lehman Brothers, CIBC (NYSE: CM) and Credit Suisse First Boston (NYSE: CS) before joining Afton Capital Management, a $200M long-short equity hedge fund, in 2002. He currently sits on the boards of several funds and financial technology start-ups as well as the UNC-Chapel Hill Business School Investment Fund. Cameron earned his Business degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became one of the youngest ever to receive the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation in 1999.
It was on the buy-side that Cameron became aware of the avoidable mistakes investment managers were making causing lost performance and he vowed to solve the problem. When he told his grandmother why he was starting Alpha Theory, she looked at him and asked, "You mean they're not doing this already?" and he knew at that moment he had a responsibility to help bring about a change in the industry. Today, Cameron spends his time deepening his knowledge on important topics in behavioral finance, decision sciences, portfolio management and acting as a thought leader to investment managers on investment process "best practices" through direct communication at conferences and seminars, on TV and Radio, and through the written word.
