Visible Alpha announced today the acquisition of Alpha Exchange, an innovative research discovery and management platform for investment professionals. The addition of Alpha Exchanges advanced technology platform to Visible Alphas existing services will create a unified consumption and collaboration experience across research reports, analyst models and corporate access events backed by a robust compliance framework.
Since Visible Alphas commercial launch in February 2017, the company has been helping investment firms of all sizes and geographies become MiFID II compliant with research tracking and valuation tools, while enabling idea discovery through its analyst model and deep consensus platform. Currently, more than 80 firms with a combined $14 trillion in AUM are using a combination of these tools.
Alpha Exchange brings innovative, cutting-edge technology to the way research can be managed, discovered and shared, said Scott Rosen, CEO of Visible Alpha. With the Alpha Exchange team on board, we will further provide investment professionals with industry-leading tools to streamline and enhance their workflows by focusing in on the most relevant and meaningful research content.
By bridging Visible Alphas fundamental analysis tools and research administration services, Alpha Exchanges technology for research discovery, management and collaboration will help anchor a comprehensive end-to-end solution for clients to discover, consume, track, budget, value, and pay for research content.
We are excited to be a part of the Visible Alpha team and to continue to execute on our vision of creating a smarter way to consume investment research, said Emma Margetts, Co-Founder of Alpha Exchange. With the addition of Visible Alphas suite of analytics and deep forecast data across thousands of companies, we have the opportunity to build an even more intelligent research discovery engine.
