ANALYST EDGE

Jen’s Edge: Jen’s data-driven approach to Equity Research via alternative data and proprietary modeling differentiate her work from traditional sell-side Consumer product. In addition, her research leverages traditional methods including diligent channel checks and a broad set of unique industry contacts. Jen’s particularly adept at employing open-source publicly available data via web and triangulating it in a way that enables analysts and clients to connect the dots between current ecommerce business and current ecommerce business reflective of traditional brick-and-mortar retailers to correlate data metrics indicative of key financial metrics before a company reports the respective metrics as well as deciphering migratory shifts in purchasing trends and cyclical factors. Her hybrid approach to Equity Research fusing cutting-edge methods and independent data and traditional sell-side methods offer a differentiated path to alpha-generating new ideas for clients as well as opportunity to get in front of stock inflections under coverage. Jen’s hallmarks are accuracy and thoroughness, delivered in full compliance.
