Sentifi launches artificial intelligence based fintech service

Since its foundation in 2012, Sentifi has identified around 1.2 million persons and organisations, which are relevant to financial markets and are communicating online. They include classical market participants such as traders, portfolio managers and financial analysts but also other stakeholders like active private investors, industry experts, governmental agencies, environmental organisations and politicians.

The final objective is to offer a 360° view of all aspects with a financial impact on any listed company. The impact of events and issues can be seen on a company level or on a portfolio of companies. In this way it is possible to see in one view for example which of the FTSE 350 companies being associated with M&A activities – updated every hour.

Signals and insights from the crowd are generated from machine based text analysis of publicly available news, blogs and tweets. Using financial big data and self-learning technologies, Sentifi structures more than 6 million messages per day from the above mentioned 1.2 million stakeholders.

Each message that can be allocated to one or more of the 40’000+ listed companies, indices, currencies and commodities which Sentifi analyses will then be matched with several million variations of financial events and issues. Finally every message is ranked according to its financial relevance so that readers can focus on the most important ones only.

“This is an important milestone in Sentifi’s strategy to build and keep its position as a global leader in Crowd-Intelligence for global financial markets” says Anders Bally, Founder and CEO of Sentifi. “Similar to other disruptive crowd-based models such as Uber, Spotify and Airbnb, Sentifi continues to invest heavily in building and expanding a scalable technological platform to interact with the crowd” he adds.
