Alternative research on the financial crisis
Over the last few weeks we have seen unprecedented turmoil and risk in the financial markets and the banking system. The response from anyone remotely tied to the markets has included unceasing, voracious interest in comments, developments, and reactions – both business and political. And the need for quality information, combined with the deluge of reporting on the issues, has made the process of finding the complete information, especially from international sources, a huge time sink.
At FirstRain many of our clients are institutional investors - and as a result we have been building research coverage of the underpinnings of the financial crisis for many, many months. Last week we decided to make an alternative research report on the crisis and resulting regulations available, at no charge, to help our community stay on top of the issues by providing highly relevant research coverage from broad, international and obscure sources. It's called Eye On The Storm...
If you think the report may be helpful for you stay on top of the changes at the beginning and end of every day, please sign up and feel free to share with colleagues and friends, especially those in the investment and corporate worlds who care about the newly regulated world we'll be entering.
As always, I’m interested to hear your thoughts.
If you are interested in what's under the hood - the Eye On The Storm report is a trivial example of what FirstRain can do for the research process of a portfolio manager or a marketing team. We have developed the technology necessary to use the web as the research database for the professional decision maker. Our clients find information they would have missed, mitigate their risk and make their research process much more robust using FirstRain. We do this through an automated system of search, relevancy modeling and analytics that produces original alternative research on companies, industries, management and investment themes - delivered to the client through an online database, reports or feeds.
