The Deutsche Börse European Directors Dealings Data (EDD) provided by Gradient Analytics is the most recent addition to our robust suite of products dedicated to exploring the explanatory power between executive behavior and share price performance. The EDD is the result of a rigorous process to create an aggregated and cleansed data source of otherwise disparate pan-European insider transactions and reflects Gradient’s continuing commitment to the exploration of the science of executive behavior. Whether used as part of an institutional investment strategy or in academic research, the EDD back-test history and on-going data feed allow clients to quickly gauge insider sentiment at the company, industry or country level.
