Abstract

Cowen Inc.’s broker-dealer, Cowen and Company, LLC, boasted a number of analysts who had made prescient stock calls on the basis of creative data analysis. Now Cowen Inc. had opened a new subsidiary, Kyber, which would attempt to monetize new data science products. Robert Fagin, head of research, had to consider what Kyber’s risks were, even as the unit uncovered the possibility for new revenue streams. How could Cowen continue to exploit its competitive advantage with data?
