What are your streams of work? And where are you located?We have two streams of work: 1) Investment Research, 2) Financial Modeling. We prepare both paid and free investment research reports on public equities (large, mid, small, micro, nano cap), private equities, macroeconomics, transactions, and sectors. The research includes equity research reports, transaction analysis reports, macro research, sector reports, market update reports, recommendations and risk ratings. We also build custom financial models that include 3-statement integration, valuation, transaction analysis, return calculations, risk analysis and monte carlo simulations. We apply statistical analysis where necessary to control for differences across inputs. We have published research and built models across all industry sectors and we are located in British Columbia, Canada.

Where are your research reports distributed?The research reports are distributed on institutional research platforms including Thomson Reuters, S&P Capital IQ, FactSet and Bloomberg Finance. These platforms vet, select and accept certain research providers. Meanwhile our estimates are included in their pool of all analysts estimates and ranked against all other bank analysts. This speaks to the quality and accuracy of our work. Reports are open access on these platforms. Reports are also available on our website simultaneously under Basic Modelyze tab through a free subscription as well as to our prior readers list which has been growing on a daily basis since our inception.

What is issuer-paid research and what are its use cases? Why should I pay for a report?Equity and market research is very important to attract investors to a company, to justify valuation and explain the fair value estimate of the shares traded in the public markets. This role takes significant skill and investors seek for such reports in the market to understand the companies and investment opportunities. There is a significant decline from sell side research brokerage firms and investment banks coverage for small-cap, micro-cap and nano-cap companies and this has made lack of analyst coverage for these companies worse. Brokerages have decreased research budget and hence companies are turning to issuer-paid research. Valuation is a craft that requires skill and experience and a thorough understanding of capital markets, corporate finance and investment and many public market participants do not have the time or skill to perform this analysis. Having a report that includes all these details about an issuer independently is important and very useful for investors to help in their investment decision making. Analyst coverage and equity research increase awareness about the issuer company, and increase reach and readership about the issuer company. Issuer-paid research for small, micro and nano cap companies allows for projections, financial metrics, fair value estimates and valuation of the company to be made available to the public market independently which otherwise would not have been available. Our reports are publicly available to anyone who asks for it free on Basic Modelyze while brokerage research is typically available to only its own investment network and existing institutional relationships. This all helps disseminate information to market participants who have not heard about the company from a technical and analytical perspective and contributes to improving market efficiency.

If I pay for research, how do you ensure to maintain your independence and objectivity?We accept a flat fee (price) for paid reports and accept no performance-based compensation of any kind. This avoids bias and maintains independence and objectivity. The following is the best practice guidelines governing analysts and corporate issuer relations by CFA Institute, by which all CFA charter holders have to abide. We claim compliance with the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. This claim has not been verified by CFA Institute. We also publish many free content on larger companies and macro environment.
