Project Description

Data Simply powers the sustainable investing movement with text analytics technology that reads words in company disclosures at the SEC and turns them into signals, at scale, for Sustainable Investing (ESG - Environmental, Social, Governance).

How It Works

Our software uses machine intelligence to track the companies and tickers you care about most, by having technology read and understand the words in their filings disclosures at the SEC. Filings data is pulled directly from Edgar on an hourly basis, cleaned, and analyzed using our own curated finance-specific ontology. Metadata tags for sentiment and frequency are added to each document. This is run at scale across the three major US exchanges and filings every hour. Users receive alerts on their portfolio via email and SMS.

Contribution
