Summary
In today’s markets, no company operates in isolation. Every business is part of an interconnected network of suppliers and customers. When new information enters this network, it propagates through the network, but not instantly. These lags create gaps in how and when information is priced, and for investors, they create opportunity.
In this webinar, S&P Global Market Intelligence will introduce Business Relationships Analytics (BRA), an innovative solution that quantifies the dollar value of supplier-customer connections, even when it’s not publicly disclosed. By capturing these economic relationships, BRA helps investors harness supply chain momentum factors that drive alpha across global markets.
The webinar will cover:
- An overview of the patented process behind the BRA network.
- Momentum Factors: How price from customers/suppliers propagates upstream downstream to suppliers/customer
- Portfolio Construction and Alpha Returns across Small to Large Cap Stocks
- Live Q&A
