The newly launched Mercury product has been added to the Helios platform after years of research and development. The team explains that Mercury is the seminal work of its Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Gerwin Schalk, in a bid to uncover what is not being said across thousands of equities.

From distress to deception, the Helios team explains Mercury can reveal what is truly happening in these spoken moments from executives. Tapping into the power of voice is being pioneered by the team but the research speaks for itself. It helps you to use the distinct quantitative voice characteristics extracted from people in earnings calls to add new and completely different alpha to your portfolio management algorithms. The team adds that it aims to unlock the power of the mind and works alongside your existing suite of text sentiment tooling.

Dr. Schalk can be seen explaining this from leading alternative data conferences across the world. From Eagle Alpha to Battlefin events, he has explained you may be used to basing your decisions on the information you receive during earnings conference calls but without the voice tone you are missing over 40% of the true communication. His team has researched that instead of focusing on what words are being said, you should be concentrating on how the words are said.

For instance, you may be listening to an executive who sounds nervous when making a positive statement in response to an unexpected or probing question. The team explain that while you may focus on the positive language being used, the nervous tone may indicate the executive is not confident about the answer he is giving.

Dr. Schalk continues to lead this pioneering research for the team and notes that "2021 will be the watershed moment for voice in the financial world. We're in the era of deception."
