Our analysts and capital markets professionals bring decades of unrivaled Wall Street experience and insight to a new digital world of investor communications and engagement. Our research and investor content are distributed across traditional research aggregators like Bloomberg, FactSet, etc., proprietary direct distribution lists, social media, search engines, and our website.

Our mission is to help companies take control of their IR program and proactively reach investors while bringing investors a consistent flow of quality information to help them understand our clients’ businesses, industries, and the investment opportunities they present. 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.
