Gradient Provides Deutsche Börse European Directors Dealings Data
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - The Deutsche Börse European Directors Dealings Data (EDD) provided by Gradient Analytics is a one-of-a-kind source of pan-European insider transactions data. The EDD is the most recent addition to Gradient Analytics’ robust suite of products dedicated to exploring the relationship between executive behavior and share-price performance.
The EDD is the result of a rigorous process designed to create an aggregated and cleansed data source of otherwise disparate pan-European insider transactions, and it reflects Gradient’s continuing commitment to the exploration of the science of executive behavior. Whether used as part of an institutional investment strategy or in academic research, the EDD back-test history and ongoing data feed allow clients to quickly gauge insider sentiment at the company, industry or country level.
