Market Analytics & Positioning Data (MAP)
Long Crowding Positioning at Your Fingertips.
Market participants operate in a world of fragmented disclosures, delayed filings, and flawed fund classifications. These limitations make it impossible to identify how peer hedge funds and institutions are positioned in real time. This limits risk management, portfolio construction, and the ability to act on market shifts with required confidence.
S3’s MAP provides a unique lens into long positioning across 11 distinct Hedge Fund Cohorts. MAP aggregates global regulatory long holdings in real time and applies a proprietary classification system to distinguish between Active and Passive investors based on fund turnover.
MAP empowers Portfolio Managers, Risk Managers, Analysts & Traders to
Identify Long Crowding Risk: Evaluate portfolio exposure to widely owned securities for effective navigation of risk-on and risk-off market regimes.
Analyze Hedge Fund Cohort Long Positioning: View long positioning across hedge fund cohorts like multi-manager, quant, fundamental, macro, and sector-focused funds.
Benchmark Long Exposure: Use the S3 Hedge Fund Performance Index and Diversification Score to contextualize risk and alpha.

Screen High Conviction Trades: Construct systematic and discretionary portfolios using S3’s MAP data
