Solution & Analysis for Recorded Future: Searching the Web for Alpha by Christopher Malloy
Recorded Future was a software company that aimed to aggregate the information on the Internet in a way that offered new and valuable insights. Funded by Google and In-Q-Tel, the venture-capital wing of the Central Intelligence Agency, Recorded Future gave people tools to not only extract meaning from the web, but also to make predictions about future events ranging from terrorist attacks to corporate product releases. The case presents the investment decision of a portfolio manager, Andrew Fisher of LXE Capital, who is considering investing based on insights drawn from Recorded Future's software interface. The case asks students to grapple with a new source of investment data, to evaluate the reliability of back-tested portfolio strategies, and to ponder how best to utilize data for the purposes of generating "alpha" (positive risk-adjusted returns) in investing.
