How Does ManagementTrack Help Hedge Funds & Investors?

What is ManagementTrack?

ManagementTrack by Paragon Intel provides predictive executive analytics specifically designed for hedge funds and asset managers to enhance investment decision-making. Instantly evaluate CEO and c-suite capabilities, detect evasive earnings calls, and uncover alpha opportunities through rigorous management data, available across the US and Europe.

Predictive Executive Ratings

Central to ManagementTrack is the ManagementTrack Rating (MTR), the industry’s first predictive rating system for every executive at public companies. With a 0-10 rating scale, investors can instantly gauge how company performance is likely to be influenced by the executives in charge. Backtested over 10 years, the MTR offers proven predictive accuracy, highlighting which companies may outperform or underperform based on their management team’s capabilities.

Earnings Call Evasion Detection

Every earnings call analyzed by ManagementTrack identifies exactly where management has evaded answering critical questions. Utilizing advanced linguistic analysis developed by PhD linguists and refined by former buy-side analysts, ManagementTrack pinpoints the specific evasive rationales and topics across 30,000+ historical earnings calls. Its predictive model flags companies exhibiting higher-than-usual evasiveness, historically signaling future underperformance with a 63% accuracy rate and a 9% average alpha.

Predictive Insider Transactions

ManagementTrack analyzes every executive’s insider transaction history, providing real-time flags of predictive outlier transactions indicative of future stock performance. This comprehensive, backtested analysis allows investors to quickly identify high-confidence alpha-generating opportunities based on historical insider trading patterns.
