StockViews Helps Investors by Crowdsourcing Alpha Instead of Opinion

By David Penn Posted on May 12, 2015
Categories: FinovateSpring 2015, StockViews

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2015.

StockViews is presenting its investing platform that crowdsources the insights of top-rated analysts.

The “StockViews Signal” aggregates the recommendations of our top-rated analysts into a unique and powerful buy or sell signal. Previous attempts to crowdsource market wisdom have failed, because the result tends to mirror the conclusion already reached by the market (the market itself is a crowdsourcing mechanism). Instead of crowdsourcing opinion, we crowdsource alpha by aggregating opinions only of analysts who have demonstrated a consistent track record of beating the market.

Presenters: At left, Tom Beevers, CEO and co-founder; at computer, Tara Hyland

Product Launch: May 2015

Metrics: StockViews has more than 500 active analysts contributing ratings directly to the platform. Over 23,000 ratings have been created since May 2014.
Product distribution strategy: Direct to Business (B2B)
