Investment Research & Quantitative Analysis
Hedge funds, asset managers, and investment research teams use ComFinData financial datasets to enhance portfolio strategies, identify market opportunities, and improve forecasting accuracy.
Where research teams hit the data wall
Alpha rarely comes from the same data everyone already has. Terminal feeds cover prices and fundamentals, but the questions that move a thesis — how spending is shifting, which companies are hiring, what a portfolio's real ESG exposure looks like — need datasets that sit outside the standard stack.
Building those inputs internally means scraping, cleaning and maintaining pipelines that have nothing to do with the actual research.
How licensed datasets close the gap
ComFinData packages the alternative and market data that research workflows consume most: exchange tick data for microstructure and execution studies, pre-computed technical analytics for factor work, card transaction aggregates for demand nowcasting, and ESG scores for screening and mandate compliance.
Every dataset ships with a documented schema and a real data preview, so quants can judge fit before a discovery call — and delivery lands in the warehouse or research environment you already run.
From dataset to signal
A typical engagement starts with a historical file for backtesting, moves to a scheduled refresh once the signal survives out-of-sample testing, and adds adjacent datasets — labor signals, registry records for entity resolution — as coverage questions appear.
Because pricing is transparent (subscription or one-time snapshot), research teams can trial a thesis without committing to an enterprise contract on day one.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get historical data for backtesting before subscribing?
Yes. Most financial datasets are available as one-time historical snapshots priced separately from the ongoing subscription, so you can validate a strategy out-of-sample before committing to a refresh cadence. Use the Request Access button to scope the lookback window you need.
How is the data delivered into a quant research stack?
Delivery options include flat files (CSV, JSON, Parquet), API access, SFTP, and direct loads to Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Azure, or GCP — pick whatever your research environment already reads. Cadence ranges from real-time feeds to monthly refreshes depending on the dataset.
