Why FastTrack Data Helps Investors
Clean Data Matters
Accurate market data is crucial in making investment decisions. Without accurate market data, you’re at risk of making uninformed decisions leading to significant financial losses.
In particular, accurate historical dividend data is critically important when total return, risk metrics, and doing relative analysis of investments. FastTrack specializes in providing accurate data, saving you time and effort while providing a clearer picture of past performance. FastTrack has the cleanest data.
Reliability: We Know Data Processing
Since 1988, FastTrack has been at the forefront of innovation, continually refining our processes to guarantee unparalleled data quality for our clients.
Machine Learning and AI
To start, we collect open, close, high, low and volume data from multiple primary market sources. Once aggregated, we apply the FastTrack proprietary processes.
Next, we use our clean, historical data to check for internal consistency. We use relative strength, machine learning, and artificial intelligence algorithms to check all new and existing dividends against the funds/ETF/stocks other dividends, and when available, other share classes.
From there, we flag outliers and potential missing dividends to process from secondary market sources.
Human TLC
A second layer of machine learning and AI processes is kicked off and we bubble up outliers for human analysis.
Our data team reaches out directly to our network of fund companies to collect straight from the source.
Crowdsourcing since 1988
Supplementing all of this are our clients. We’ve been crowdsourcing data from our users before crowdsourcing became a buzz word. You are incredible. We get copies of statements, challenges from customer analysis… you name it. Client challenges rise to the top and we fix data when it is wrong.
