Through the combination of machine learning from Boosted.ai and alternative data from S3 Partners – including short interest, financing rate, crowded score and squeeze risk – institutional investors using the platform will be better equipped to find alpha and mitigate herd risk on both sides of their book.

Data from S3 BLACK App and S3 Blackwire OMS augment the Boosted Insights platform by allowing asset managers to create smart hedges and ensure actionable trades, using advanced machine learning for data-driven hedging solutions. The partnership follows the launch of Hedge Baskets by Boosted.ai, which lets investors generate custom short baskets that are intelligent, transparent, and performant – while remaining differentiated from crowded short strategies.

Bob Sloan, Managing Partner and CEO of S3 Partners said: “Our constant goal is to make the world’s best sentiment and market positioning data available wherever investors are. With Boosted Insights and Hedge Baskets, Boosted.ai has developed a platform that the world’s most sophisticated institutional investors can use to improve their long and short positions through machine learning. The addition of S3 data further improves those outputs – reveal herd risk, sources of unexpected volatility and ensuring that the machine’s recommendations work well in practice.”

Joshua Pantony, Co-Founder and CEO of Boosted.ai, said: “S3 BLACK App and S3 Blackwire OMS are well-regarded as a golden source for hard-to-find data on the entire hedging process. Machine learning excels when data quality is high, so our partnership has been a natural match. We look forward to bringing portfolio managers an even more streamlined and contemporary investment process by making insights from S3 available natively within Boosted Insights.”

This partnership with Boosted.ai further expands S3’s deep roster of distribution partners, including Bloomberg, Snowflake, AWS, FactSet, and Refinitiv. S3 recently announced an additional partnership with LiquidityBook.
