Stock Brokerage and Trading Firms

Brokerages and trading firms partner with Acuity Knowledge Partners to reduce cost per research output, increase operational flexibility, and improve productivity. We help to increase senior analysts’ bandwidth. By having Acuity Knowledge Partners take on 30 – 75% of their coverage initiation and maintenance-related process, in-house teams are able to spend more time with clients, generate additional new ideas, and expand coverage at a faster pace than their competitors
