Street Contxt, a fintech company that helps brokerages, independent research providers, and asset managers distribute, manage, unbundle, and value research, has launched its buy side service.
The new functionality allows investors, including hedge funds, pension funds, and institutional asset managers, to never miss information that they care about by centralising and organising the entire firm’s content and knowledge, whether it comes from brokers, independent research providers, internal sources, corporate IR, filings, the web, or anywhere else. Street Contxt enables fund managers to access one portal to share the firm’s subscriptions and internal knowledge, collaborate internally on investment ideas, monitor their positions, easily find new content, and objectively validate which brokers are delivering value and which are not.
“As data has become commoditised on Wall Street, investor demand has increased for content, context, and control,” says Blair Livingston (pictured), CEO of Street Contxt. “The buy side is receiving more information than ever before and investors are struggling to eliminate the noise, find the insight that they need, and manage that content firm-wide over time. This is extremely evident as we enter into earnings season and investors’ inboxes get flooded with instant analysis and commentary on the hundreds of companies reporting each day. The Street Contxt buy side service will help investors confidently find the information that is important to them, collaborate across the fund, and build a long-term, institutional knowledge base that helps capture alpha.”
Street Contxt already plays a central role in the industry by providing tools for sell side and independent research providers to deliver the most relevant content to the right clients, at the right time. The addition of buy side functionality completes Street Contxt’s offerings for Wall Street – bringing together brokerages, independent research providers, and funds in one ecosystem – allowing for unique benefits for all parties using the platform.
