Investors rely on equity research solutions for in-depth financial analysis and recommendations in the financial industry. For institutional investors and investment banks, these solutions are vital to supporting their clients in making informed investment decisions by providing timely and high-quality information. Equity research analysts have direct access to management, allowing them to gauge their competence and relay this to investors. Their insights and recommendations can be used to determine whether an investment is a good buy, a good hold, or a suitable sale.
Equity research solutions have seen tremendous improvements in productivity and capability over the past two decades due to technology. The inefficiencies and errors associated with manually entering research content into aggregator platforms are being addressed by technology. Developing tools for more accurate and efficient research publishing marked the beginning of a transformative period. Trading strategies are informed by natural language processing tools used to extract market sentiment from analysts' reports. Data management with blockchain technology is also becoming transparent and secure. Researchers are automating disclosures and disclaimers in reports as part of compliance and risk management. Electronic trading accelerated with the advancement of computing power, which influenced commissions and trading costs.
