Case Study: AlphaClone achieves scalable, low-cost hedge-fund replication with Xignite cloud market data

Alphaclone Lets Investors Mirror Top Hedge Fund Manager Picks

AlphaClone is a San Francisco–based investment research firm founded to give individual and professional investors actionable access to the stock picks of top hedge fund managers by “cloning” positions disclosed in SEC 13F filings. To build its disclosure-based replication strategies the team needed a platform to track holdings from more than 4,000 advisers and reliable price quotes for a wide universe of U.S. and international equities, but as a startup it lacked the resources to build and maintain that data infrastructure internally.

AlphaClone solved this by integrating Xignite’s cloud-based Market Data Cloud (CloudAPI) for scalable, cost-effective equity pricing that was quick to implement, freeing the team to focus on strategy development and back-testing. Since launching in 2008 the company has expanded beyond online research into separate accounts and exchange-traded products based on its proprietary cloning methodology, using Xignite data to power its tracking system and accelerate product innovation.
