According to Refinitiv, the new tool can be utilized by a wide range of users, including quantitative investors looking to enhance alpha generation and risk management, discretionary investors aiming to improve portfolio construction, corporate clients seeking to monitor market perceptions of their own firms and peers, as well as regulators, analysts, researchers and governments.
Richard Peterson, CEO, MarketPsych, said:
“Through the lens of this data, our clients can explore how media perceptions and corporate behavior impact business performance over time. For example, we’ve found that the share prices of companies with higher Workplace Sentiment scores significantly outperform their peers, and it appears that happier employees generate more value for shareholders. We hope that such insights inspire positive changes in corporate structure and behavior.”
