The use of sentiment data in investment analysis has grown precipitously over the past decade. Technological advancements have made it possible to analyse vast amounts of textual data from social media and other online sources, giving investors an up-to-the-minute understanding of how companies are perceived and what this might mean for future returns. In our latest podcast, Richard Peterson, CEO and founder of MarketPsych, joins Tjeerd van Cappelle, Head of AI Equity at NN Investment Partners, to discuss what we can glean from sentiment data, how we can apply it for improved alpha generation, and where the next frontier in sentiment analysis could lie.

Sometimes it really does seem like the stock market has a mind of its own. But we know better than that, right? Our minds are the ones that actually move the markets. That's both a good and bad thing; we are human, after all. We all know that the human mind can get fogged with all sorts of nuttiness. So what sort of psychological make up makes for better stock pickings? The good news? Women investors on average tend to perform better than men. The bad news? We can get in our own way. Today, we have a special interview with MarketPsych's Frank Murtha, a psychologist who is an expert in behavioral finance and the author of the book MarketPsych: How to Overcome Fear and Build Your Investor Identity, and we learn a mind game or two that could help strengthen our positions.

In our latest podcast instalment, our CIO Valentijn van Nieuwenhuijzen and Richard Peterson, CEO of MarketPsych, explore the benefits and challenges of measuring and using sentiment data. They explain how they expect the use of sentiment data to evolve and discuss the need for human creativity alongside machine learning inputs. “It is man and machine together,” says Van Nieuwenhuijzen, “that provide the most robust decision-making and therefore the best investment results.”
