StreamVPN (now Factset's AlphaMetrics) is creator of the Alpha Network, a 'trading ideas pipeline' that enables money managers to customize and performance-track the flow of trading ideas provided through their core brokerage relationships. Originally based in London, StreamVPN hired Sprung PR in November 2005 when the company launched its Alpha Network in the U.S... The launch was covered by Dow Jones, The Wall Street Letter, Hedgeworld, Hedge Fund Intelligence, Pensions & Investments, and PlanSponsor's NewsDash; in subsequent months, Sprung PR placed stand-alone profiles of StreamVPN and its core offerings in Investment Dealers' Digest, Securities Industry News, Hedgeworld, and Institutional Investor. Factset acquired StreamVPN in August 2006.
