Acadian Taps Microsoft for Predictive Signals

Boston-based quantitative fund manager Acadian Asset Management’s recently announced partnership with Microsoft will see the firm implement a combination of trading signals received from Microsoft’s Bing Predicts tool with its own predictive analysis to augment its investment forecasting frameworks.

The firm is now looking to harness data from Bing Predicts, a prediction engine developed by Microsoft that produces signals of economic activity derived from aggregated internet search and social activity.
