Liquidnet Expands Its AI-Based Trade and Investment Analytics with Acquisition of NLP Leader Prattle
Summary
Prattle developed a proprietary Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) system to produce analytics that measure sentiment and predict the market impact of publicly available content including central bank and corporate communications (such as company earnings calls and press releases). “Prattle is yet another powerful tool for asset managers to discover actionable insight from the enormous amounts of unstructured data that is produced throughout the capital markets,” said Brian Conroy, President of Liquidnet. “Our proprietary NLP and data science technology are an ideal complement to Liquidnet’s AI-driven analytics platform, and we’re eager to be part of its growing Global Investment Network,” said Evan Schnidman, CEO of Prattle. Our network spans 46 markets across six continents and seamlessly connects institutional brokers, investment banks, exchanges, alternative trading venues, and a growing list of data and research providers. We built Liquidnet to make global capital markets more efficient, and continue to do so by adding additional participants, enabling trusted access to trading and investment opportunities, and delivering the actionable intelligence and insight that our customers need.
