New integration lets portfolio managers and research analysts access forward-looking KPI forecasts, dataset-level insights, and predictive analysis through natural language - adding AI-native workflows to the platform’s existing UI, data feeds, and Excel capabilities

NEW YORK: #altdata--Maiden Century, a leading alternative data analytics platform for institutional investors, today announced the availability of its new AI workflow integration, making it the first alternative data provider to offer native connectivity with Claude (by Anthropic) and ChatGPT (by OpenAI). The integration extends Maiden Century’s platform - already accessible via its flagship UI, direct data feeds, and Excel add-in - into the AI-native workflows that investment teams are rapidly adopting.

Following a successful beta period that saw rapid client adoption - with over 100 investment professionals onboarded within the first two weeks - Maiden Century is now making the integration available across its client base. The new capability is offered as a premium add-on, reflecting the depth of insight and real-time forecasting that the integration delivers.

Users can now ask forward-looking investment questions in plain English within Claude or ChatGPT - such as “What’s the likelihood Amazon will miss their cloud revenue guidance next quarter?” or “Which alternative data signals suggest Meta’s US ad demand is diverging from consensus?” - and receive grounded, model-backed answers drawn from Maiden Century’s IDEA platform. The platform tracks over 8,000 KPIs across 12,000+ securities using 250+ alternative datasets, a number that grew over 35% in the past year alone.

A key differentiator is forecast accuracy. Maiden Century’s models deliver among the lowest mean absolute percentage errors (MAPEs) in the alternative data industry, giving investment teams a quantifiable edge when evaluating company performance ahead of earnings. Unlike many alternative data offerings that focus solely on the current quarter, Maiden Century provides outquarter forecasts - enabling analysts to assess not just what’s happening now, but what’s likely to happen next.

The integration is built on a robust entitlements layer that ensures every user is authenticated and receives tailored responses based on their unique data subscriptions. Each query respects existing vendor licensing agreements, so data partners maintain full control over who can access their datasets and how that data is surfaced. No underlying data leaves Maiden Century’s infrastructure, and all responses are generated within a secure, permissioned environment - ensuring compliance with the data governance standards that institutional investors and data vendors require.

“The last thing a front office investment team wants to do is pick up another new platform,” said Qaisar Hasan, CFA, CEO of Maiden Century. “But if they’re already spending time in Claude or ChatGPT, this is a seamless experience - it removes the friction that’s historically kept alternative data locked inside specialized tools. We’ve spent years building the infrastructure to turn raw data into the most accurate forecasts in the space. Now we’re meeting investors exactly where they already work, while making sure every response respects the entitlements and licensing that our data partners expect.”

Key Capabilities

Forward-looking investment analysis: Ask predictive questions about any company or KPI in natural language. For example: “What are the top-ranked datasets for predicting Amazon’s Total Revenue?” or “What’s the likelihood this company misses guidance next quarter based on alternative data signals?”

Forecast drivers and dataset-level analysis: Understand what’s behind forecast movements, drill into model-level performance detail for the best-performing datasets, and perform cohort-level analysis on the highest-weighted contributors.

Current and outquarter forecasts: Access KPI forecasts not just for the current reporting period but for future quarters, helping investment teams build a forward-looking view grounded in alternative data signals.

Permissioned and authenticated access: Every user is authenticated through Maiden Century’s entitlements layer, ensuring responses reflect only the datasets each client is licensed to access. Data vendors retain full control over their licensing and distribution.

Enterprise-grade data validation: All outputs are backed by Maiden Century’s validated models across 250+ alternative datasets, with the industry’s lowest MAPEs ensuring institutional-quality accuracy.

“The ability to interact with alternative data through Claude has meaningfully changed our research workflow,” said a portfolio manager at a leading quantitative hedge fund. “The outputs are validated and model-backed, which gives us real confidence in the insights. Our team has fully embraced it - no complaints, just results.”

“What we heard consistently from clients during beta was that this just works,” said Alexander Tarrant, Chief Commercial Officer at Maiden Century. “The adoption spoke for itself - over 100 users in two weeks, with some teams integrating it into their daily research process. For us, it validates that AI-native workflows are becoming an increasingly important way investment professionals want to interact with data.”

The launch comes as institutional adoption of AI-native workflows accelerates across the financial industry. While traditional financial data providers have recently announced technical connectivity protocols, Maiden Century’s integration is purpose-built for alternative data - providing the contextual understanding, forecast accuracy, and dataset-level granularity that investment professionals need to generate differentiated insights. The company is also among the first in the alternative data space to offer the capability as a dedicated product with its own commercial framework.

Availability

The AI workflow integration is available now for Maiden Century clients as a premium capability, with connectivity to both Claude and ChatGPT.
