Abstract: 

Astute investors have shifted their attention to explore the information content in unstructured data sets to differentiate their source of alpha. In this presentation, we will explore a number of sentiment- and behavioral-based signals using the content from earnings call transcripts via NLP that have historically demonstrated stock selection power in the U.S. market.
