Introduction
What is Exabel?
Exabel is a powerful analytics platform for investment teams to research and monitor investments using alternative data. It comes with dozens of integrations with market, fundamental, and alternative data sources so you can get started in minutes. Exabel lets you easily compare and combine data across multiple sources (including your own proprietary data), transform and visualize data, set up monitoring with dashboards and alerts, and map data to KPIs to train accurate prediction models. Data teams and analysts/PMs can collaborate in a single environment, easily sharing analysis and results.
Data
Data is the foundation to any investment analysis. There are three categories of data on Exabel:
-
Foundational data: market, fundamental and consensus data from Factset and Visible Alpha
-
Alternative data: integrated, analysis-ready data from leading alternative data partners, covering global equities across all sectors (available only with partner licenses)
-
Bring your own data: you can import your own proprietary data
Exabel's data integrations are available instantly to any user with the necessary licenses, allowing you to get started in minutes, without having to wait for data ingestion. These are all live data integrations, so any analysis you develop will continue to be updated with live data.
Exabel is a time series analysis platform
Exabel is built for time series data and analysis, which is critical in the financial domain.
Data that you import should also be in the form of time series. If you have non-time series data sets such as transaction data, this must be pre-aggregated into a time series and then imported into Exabel.
Exabel is data vendor-agnostic
Exabel is a general analytics platform that can work with any time series data from any vendor.
Our data partnerships make it easier for you to get started with alternative data, but you are equally free to import data from other providers, and even your own proprietary data.
Customer data is segregated and private
Data that you import, your analysis, and analysis results are always private to you.
