The story about us

HMM Data grew out of an internal data research team at an investment bank. Our experienced research analysts began integrating alternative data into traditional investment research framework in 2017.

After realizing the common alternative data inputs from web scraping, SDK and third-party vertical industry data were insufficient to meet various challenging research needs, we felt motivated to redefine the boundaries of alternative data together with our talented engineer team.

A small but crowded world

Why hasn't alternative data developed into a sizable universe in the last 20 years?

Why are there more than 400 alternative data providers in the world to date?

Why do all alternative datasets look so similar to end users?

The answer to the above questions is straightforward: no differentiation in terms of data source, technology and product offering led to intense competition in limited application scenarios.

Today, alternative data is no longer a concept or unconventional tool for institutional investors. What we have witnessed, however, is a mismatch between product supply and unmet demand.
