Hedge funds and the SEC - 2 major milestones!

September 9, 2024

It’s been an incredible summer at Radient AI. Just 2 years since launch, we reached 2 major milestones. We lead HF Analysis and SEC Intel:

  1. HF analysis. Now 10x better for HF investors to make smarter investment decisions, save loads of time, and never miss critical info. Now with our strategic partners at HFR.

  2. SEC intel. Unlock info buried in filings and make it actionable. Track advisers, new fund launches, KYC/ongoing diligence, build prospect lists, with win/loss scorecards for primes, admins, and custodians, and so much more. Radient saves hours wasted on IAPD/Adviserinfo and EDGAR.

We launched Radient to dramatically improve fund intelligence, across alternatives, hedge funds, mutual funds, and ETFs, with AI.

2 fantastic milestones worth celebrating 🎉.🍾

Investors, fund managers, brokers, administrators, custodians, and other service providers were spending an inordinate amount of time on identifying investments, researching funds, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring. Inefficient while missing key pieces of information.

  1. Hedge fund analysis. We improved this 10x. Radient now has everything you need to turbo charge your hedge fund manager identification, research, selection, diligence, portfolio construction, and ongoing monitoring. Our users love analyzing HFR’s leading performance and index data (more on our partnership), combined with SEC ADV, 13F, Form Ds and other filings, and magically tracking funds directly from documents all directly on Radient.
    • Speed – identify investments quick. 5 mins down from 5 hours. To collect and model HF investments and compare vs. peers
    • Complete – all funds – hedge (both factsheets received and managers reporting to HFR), and public funds too across MFs and ETFs
    • Automatically monitor – performance shifts, holdings, and other gremlins from SEC filings, and get notified. Radient surveils while you sleep!

Now you can focus on the only 2 things that actually matter investment decisions and building a business.

  1. SEC Intelligence. There is so much information in these filings that it’s mind boggling. Radient machine reads all the important ones and extract high-precision referenceable data. ADVs (advisers, fund managers, service providers), 13Fs (holdings), 13D/Gs (large trades), NCEN (commissions), NPORT (MF/ETF holdings) and makes sense of them. Great for identifying prospects, diligence/KYC, and ongoing monitoring. And keeping tabs on the competition with scorecards on the leading primes, admins, custodian. The best is you never have to use the SEC’s clumsy IAPD/Adviserinfo and EDGAR ever again.

Admittedly, we haven’t gotten our arms around all the possible use cases, so do reach out and share your thoughts.

A huge thank you to team Radient the crazy amount of work and dedication. 👏

Most importantly, a debt of gratitude to all our customers and users (from 1,000+ of the leading investors, asset managers, brokers, admins, and other service providers). For adopting early, evangelizing for us, sharing your expertise, and helping us make Radient amazing.

Early on, we believed in funding Radient ourselves. Quite simply, if we  didn’t want to risk other people’s money, and this forced us to be super disciplined and frugal (it’s really hard to waste your own money) and focused on building a real business - with revenue!

We  selectively invited our partners, clients, and advisers to participate which has given us the additional resources to grow. Thank you for the trust. We promise to treat your money like our own!

Much more to come from Radient, so stay tuned.
