Established Expertise
eResearch has been offering these research services since its inception in 2000. The company was founded by a group of mutual fund and asset managers who aimed to pool their research analysts’ expertise.
They have found a niche in providing quantitative research, which has become scarce since many financial institutions shuttered their equity research departments after the 2008 financial crisis.
Diverse Industry Coverage
eResearch’s coverage spans a diverse range of sectors, including technology, mining, biotech, pharma, and special situations.
The company’s analysts have backgrounds in big banks and bring extensive experience in writing research reports. The sectors covered are primarily in the Canadian and U.S. markets, focusing on areas where their analysts have expertise.
Free Accessibility and Distribution
One of eResearch’s strengths is accessibility. The reports are freely available on their website, through newsletters, social media, and electronic media.
Additionally, the research is uploaded to prominent financial databases, making it easily accessible to institutional investors.
The company also writes articles based on its research to expand its reach on various financial websites.
Emphasis on Quality and Quantitative Analysis
eResearch places a strong emphasis on providing high-quality research reports that offer quantitative insights. Their goal is to provide investors with factual data that enables them to make informed comparisons between companies within an industry. This quantitative approach helps investors evaluate a company’s valuation relative to its peers.
In-Depth Industry Knowledge
eResearch’s commitment to knowledge is evident in the depth of its industry coverage. An example provided is an 18-page report on the Vanadium industry, covering around 30 companies in the sector.
This kind of comprehensive industry overview aids investors in making informed decisions within specific sectors.
