Water Tower Research is built on the foundation of democratizing information flow. We bridge the growing information gap between companies and investors through our investor engagement strategies and open-access research platform.
Our research analysts are Wall Street veterans with the experience and knowledge to work with companies and investors in tandem. We provide access to the information and content that anchors the due diligence process for both professional money managers and individual investors. We leverage traditional research distribution channels and the best of modern digital strategies and tactics to amplify this information flow globally to engage all categories of investors and stakeholders.
Information flow is the foundation for creating investor awareness, knowledge, and engagement. Our mission is to help companies and investors have the tools they need and achieve their goals.
The Publisher’s Exclusion of The Investment Advisers Act of 1940
Water Tower Research does not provide individualized advice to investors or other stakeholders. Rather, we are hired by issuers on a subscription basis to provide generalized and unbiased communications about issuers to their existing and potential investors and other stakeholders. Based on the foregoing, we believe that Water Tower Research appears to satisfy the registration requirements contained in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
MiFID II
MiFID II is a legislative framework instituted by the European Union (EU). One of its directives concerns the unbundling of payments for equity research from execution. Because Water Tower Research’s research materials are paid for by issuers and is publicly available and/or offered generally to investment firms and others free of charge, we believe that such information constitutes a “non-monetary benefit” that is not subject to the requirements of MiFID II.
