Investment research software helps shape the process behind allocating resources. It’s primarily used by portfolio managers, private banking specialists, and other investment-related professionals. The goal is to optimize the investment process and help clients make the best decisions involving their money.
What is financial research software?
The definition above doesn’t exhaust the definition of financial research software. These kinds of products are highly specialized financial research tools. To fall into this category, a product should:
provide access to macroeconomic data
generate data about the company – basic, about capital structure, ownership and transaction information, financial reports
have tools to gather and process financial information
have the ability to generate reports
have the ability to made recommendations based on the data and historical flows of the company overall, including financial, condition
Investment research software also performs periodical stock screens and presents results through various visualizing methods. Such as graphs or simplified presentations, that includes all the most important information, while deep analysis is covered in the full version of the report.
Benefits of financial market research software
Best financial research software usually is offered based on various tiers. Depending on the tier you choose, you get different options. The higher the tier, the more precise, custom, and deep the analytics goes. The thing is, however, that level of customization allows for a truly tailored experience.
Another plus comes from the charts themselves. In order to be useful, financial research tools fight over charts, instead of options. Most of them have similar features, but the level of information clarity is what wins customers over. You need to be able to throw a quick glance and read the results almost immediately. That’s why best financial research software is praised based on the quality of presentation, not only information.
The next benefit comes with customizable options. Investment management research software allows you to generate custom watchlists and scanner filters. That way you want to miss a stock or a company you want to put under the microscope.
What kinds of investment research software are available for use?
In a nutshell – you can go with a general product category or decide on something narrow. Like a product that scans only a specific industry, let’s say the energy sector or transportation. The real dilemma comes from the next step. If you invest in a stock, will that satisfy your needs? Or will you choose to build an investment research software yourself? If the second possibility comes to fruition, consider using research and development services.
