Smartkarma has partnered with CorpXSasia to offer one-stop services for corporate access and independent insight for Asian markets.
The partnership has widened the scope and business opportunities for insight providers on the Smartkarma platform in light of the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) market reform.
CorpXSasia’s client base of institutional investors seek to meet with corporations through reverse roadshows, thematic roadshows and non-deal roadshows.
According to Smartkarma, they will be able to make sure that these clients are better serviced in their need for critical and quality insights whether prior to or during a reverse roadshow, or as part of the follow-up.
Smartkarma’s cloud-based platform enables access to over 450 insight providers, which covers in excess of 2,400 companies across 15 Asia Pacific markets.
Arjen Kuenen, founder and managing director of CorpXSasia, noted: “This new partnership enables CorpXSasia clients to interact directly with experts and analysts on the ground across Asia.”
Kuenen added: “They can now access unconflicted insights, adding unprecedented value to their Reverse Roadshow or Thematic Roadshow.”
Jon Foster, Smartkarma co-founder, commented: “CorpXSasia roadshows and their unrivalled network for Corporate Access across Asia align strongly with our independent research network offering.”
He continued: “We are excited to offer expert, independent insight to their investor clients, helping them develop more effective trading strategies and understand the corporate environment in Asia.”
