The Overlay That Paid for Itself: Verizon's Case for In-House GTAA
Q: When did you implement this GTAA model?
We began using derivatives to implement the overlay in 2014, evolving from earlier physical-asset implementations before 2013.
The Authenticity Crisis: Renee DiResta on How Propaganda Is Poisoning Alternative Data
Q: What can asset owners do to ensure data fidelity when using alt data?
Establish strong governance, seek diverse data sources, implement discernment processes, and push managers to explain safeguards against misinformation in data ingestion.
The Authenticity Crisis: Renee DiResta on How Propaganda Is Poisoning Alternative Data
Q: What role should platforms play in moderating content, and what are the ethical concerns?
Platforms should balance removal, downranking, and labeling to surface reliable information, but moderation is politicized as censorship, complicating governance and user experience.
The Authenticity Crisis: Renee DiResta on How Propaganda Is Poisoning Alternative Data
Q: How has AI and multimodal content affected the ability to verify real-world events from video and images?
AI and multimodal content have made it hard to tell what is real, with frames and context easily manipulated, causing rapid spreads of misinforming content before analysts can respond.
The Authenticity Crisis: Renee DiResta on How Propaganda Is Poisoning Alternative Data
Q: What fundamental shift has occurred in how people trust information, and how does that affect investment decisions?
Trust has shifted away from traditional sources to niche online creators and platforms, which changes how investors source signals and increases the risk of acting on misleading information.
