Eagle Alpha, a firm that leverages technology to curate the web for alpha-generating information and data, has announced the launch of Social Sonar, a new compliance-friendly service to access tweets.

Social Sonar channels intelligence on stocks and global macro topics compliantly and efficiently. Unique technology and a team of research analysts build lists of the most influential people to follow on Twitter, from chief executive officers to congressmen and more.

For firms put off by compliance concerns or the effort required to uncover valuable insights, Social Sonar brings previously unmonitored information into play. For those already mining Twitter for market relevant information, it distils data much more effectively.  

The service is available to market participants seeking an investment edge including the buy-side, sell-side, corporates and retail investors. It is read-only and provides clear records and audit trails to meet all compliance requirements.

Social Sonar is just one the services provided by Eagle Alpha. As well as Twitter, the firm monitors other social media, news sites, blogs and forums to uncover longer-term opportunities by piecing together online content and analyzing it in the context of broader sector and stock developments. This provides unique insights to inform investment strategies.
