In the second in a series of recent strategic moves, ANALEC, which provides technology-based research and infrastructure products to financial institutions and broker-dealers, today announced the launch of its ResearchWise offering in the U.S. This announcement follows on the recent launch of the firm’s ModelViewer product in the U.S., which provides portfolio managers with fundamental research and analytics. Through offering its already established products in the U.S., ANALEC provides enterprises with a cost-sensitive approach to both the management of their overall investment research function and the delivery of the research to their client base.
ANALEC ResearchWise is an enterprise class research platform geared specifically to address the challenges of a broker-dealer investment research organization. Its capability spans the range from analysts running and maintaining their financial forecast models; automation of research report templates to aid the authoring process; document management, workflow and compliance management; to distribution of the final report to clients based on their individual research preferences.
The delivery of a robust platform to manage financial analytics, workflow, and compliance/risk management, seamlessly integrates processes ranging from investment research origination and creation, to distribution under one electronic umbrella. It enables research analysts, sales people, compliance officers, editors, desktop publishers, research managers and research distribution channels to undertake their respective functions individually and between each other in a seamless manner.In addition, ResearchWise delivers a range of customizable widgets/plug-ins that ensure the generation of very customizable reports that feed off existing published reports, dramatically altering the time and resources deployed on tedious tasks and activities (e.g., Morning Packs, Sector Compilers, Flash Notes etc.). Using ResearchWise, managers are empowered with transparent reporting across a number of fronts and can also proactively manage their research operations.
ResearchWise today empowers over 800 sell-side analysts, over 100 workflow and compliance professionals, 40 research managers, and distributes content to over 100,000 recipients on a daily basis. ResearchWise users are spread across 23 countries across the world.
Commenting on the launch, ANALEC’s CEO Indy Sarker said: “We have accelerated our planned deployment of our ResearchWise product suite in the U.S. based on the receptivity we have found to our approach and to the demand by clients. As firms increasingly seek to balance cost against delivery, we are able to increase productivity, streamline operations, and deliver both a research management platform and investment research delivery on an electronic basis, thereby increasing overall efficiency and speed to market. ResearchWise is a proven global platform which manages the research process to each firm’s specifications. We are committed to providing U.S. firms and US firms with global reach with a sophisticated and rigorous approach to the investment research management and delivery process.”
