VALUE THROUGH DATA SCIENCE
Broad Scope
Prior to this new wave of innovation, Data Science for Private Equity was not considered feasible due to the lack of easily accessible data and software. Along with the absence of Data Scientists and Analysts in the investment decision making process. Private Equity firms can incorporate Data Science through the following ways:
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI can interpret large amounts of data. Large volumes of data sets allows AI to create more accurate algorithms. These algorithms can guide asset managers to make strategic decisions and build stronger portfolios. AI grants investment managers an edge against competitors that are taking a more traditional approach.
NATURAL LEARNING PROCESSING (NLP)
NATURAL LEARNING PROCESSING (NLP)
NLP is becoming more and more popular among investment firms. NLP reduces manual time spent combing through data and news in the market. Through the use of sentiment analysis, firms can analyse news and changes in the market in real time as a result of adopting NLP.
MACHINE LEARNING
MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning, a subset of Artificial Intelligence, can identify patterns and predictions by using algorithms to analyse data. Machine learning can generate a comprehensive view of a firm’s market position, capabilities and investment opportunities. Machine learning also allows Private Equity firms to evaluate a deal and make a decision before its competitors.
