Established in 2006 by the founders of First Call and StreetEvents, First Coverage provides an awarding-winning, web-based technology called The Community, which combines the features and functionality of an alpha capture system, a media sentiment engine and a meeting management tool. Developed in collaboration with both buy-side and sell-side professionals, The Community enhances productivity, ensures important information isn’t overlooked, and instantly connects investment professionals with the people and data most likely to add value to their investment process by eliminating the “noise” to facilitate the generation of alpha. First Coverage aggregates information in one place to provide industry and sector level sentiment ratings based on up-to-the-minute data derived from changes and shifts in mainstream news, blogs, and aggregated sell-side communications to buy-side clients, which are much more dynamic and predictive than traditional research reports.
