WELCOME
First Coverage provides an awarding-winning, web-based technology called The Community. An ultimate efficiency tool, it combines the features and functionality of an alpha capture system, a media sentiment engine and a meeting management tool, allowing investment professionals to:
- Filter the mass of information being pushed from the sell-side to access and monitor high-conviction trade ideas, and measure the performance of their coverage
- Complement current sell-side coverage by connecting with new top performers based on their specific criteria
- Improve internal tracking and communication of research recommendations by internal staff, and combine with research ideas from their sell-side coverage
- Understand media sentiment through the delivery of mainstream news, blogs and other communications – each tagged with a bullish or bearish sentiment indicator
- Obtain an accurate assessment of market sentiment – The Street’s perspective – at the ticker, sector and industry level based on aggregated sell-side data
- Better manage corporate access and sell-side sponsored meeting opportunities, assess their value easily and objectively, and compensate brokers quickly and effectively
- Incorporate unique raw data feeds seamlessly with their backend systems to facilitate quantitative research, analysis and algorithmic trading models
- Objectively and transparently allocate trading commissions and compensation for other value-added services
The Community allows the sell-side to identify their highest-conviction research ideas and data points for their clients, and to objectively highlight the value they provide. At the same time, the buy-side can save time by focusing on the highest quality sell-side information available from their coverage, and generate better returns by finding the best brokers and independent research providers for their investment strategies.
