What we do

The Equity business within GfK, uses the Point of Sale (PoS) data used within the core of the business to provide insight to retailers, to build a detailed picture of sales and reliable forecasts of next quarter sales for predominately, but not exclusively technology stocks, of interest to Hedge Funds in the financial markets. To those customers we sell both the basic data, the time series data of PoS sales for those wanting data to feed their own analysis, and the data annotated with subject matter insight from analysts for those wanting greater market insight. The data is used by the Hedge funds to inform their buy, sell, hold decisions.
