CFA Paper Examines the Changing Use of Structured Data

Posted on September 14, 2018 by Editor

The Benefits of Consuming Structured Data

In the CFA Institute’s latest paper, Data & Technology: How Information Is Consumed In The New Age, Mohini Singh takes a deep dive into how structured data is being consumed, refutes the claim that structured data is not being meaningfully utilized, and considers how investors can best take advantage of these developments in transparency.

The paper examines a range of case studies, academic studies and reports looking at data providers, regulators and banks to conclude that the XBRL data being mandated by regulators is being extensively used. Many investors and analysts are using the detailed machine-readable data provided, in various ways depending on the end users requirements. Third party commercial vendors are able to add value by turning the as-filed XBRL data into an easy-to-use data set.
