Equity research is one of the most powerful tools in an investor’s toolkit. When firms release new findings, analyst commentary, or quarterly outlooks, it’s not just about sharing numbers—it’s about shaping market perception, guiding institutional decision-makers, and maintaining your firm’s reputation for insight and accuracy.
Whether you’re a boutique investment firm, a major brokerage, or an independent research group, delivering equity research to the investment community via conference call is a standard—but high-stakes—practice. For that reason, many firms are turning to operator-assisted conference calls to ensure professionalism, engagement, and control.
We specialize in supporting these mission-critical communications with experienced operators who manage everything from participant coordination and speaker introductions to Q&A moderation and post-call transcripts.
What Is an Operator-Assisted Equity Research Call?
An operator-assisted call differs from automated conferencing by providing live, human support throughout the event. For equity research calls, this means:
- An operator welcomes analysts, fund managers, and investors
- Speakers are introduced with full titles and credentials
- The call is professionally moderated and timed
- Participant questions are screened and managed
- A clean, accurate recording and optional transcript is delivered
Your audience receives an experience that reflects the precision and prestige of your research
When Should You Host an Equity Research Call?
Equity research calls are commonly used when:
- You publish a new research note or quarterly earnings model
- There’s a shift in rating, price target, or industry trend you want to explain
- M&A activity, geopolitical impacts, or policy changes demand analyst insight
- You want to build authority with institutional investors and the broader financial community
Operator-assisted calls ensure that these events are executed with seamless professionalism.
Benefits of Using Operator Assistance for Equity Research Calls
1. Enhanced Credibility
Your audience—portfolio managers, analysts, hedge funds, and institutional clients—expect clarity and polish. A disorganized or glitchy call detracts from the authority of your analysis. An operator-led call sets the tone immediately: this is a professional, serious discussion, not a casual meeting.
Our experienced lead operators brief speakers, manage timing, and ensure the right participants are in the room.
2. Improved Audience Engagement
Your insights are only valuable if the right people hear and understand them.
Our operators support Q&A sessions by queuing up participants, screening questions, and introducing analysts by name and firm. This ensures more targeted, high-quality questions—and avoids awkward silences or inappropriate inquiries.
Want a curated Q&A session? No problem—we can arrange for pre-submitted questions and only unmute vetted participants.
3. Secure, Confidential Communications
In many cases, equity research involves market-sensitive information. Leaks or eavesdropping can compromise trust or regulatory compliance.
We offer password-protected access, registration-gated entry, and the ability to lock the call once it begins. We also help clients manage compliance-sensitive communications, ensuring a defensible audit trail if required.
4. Accurate Transcription and Recording
Your insights have value beyond the live call so we offer an extensive feature set. Our operator-assisted calls can include professional transcription, delivered in your preferred format. Need a call replay? We can host the recording online or distribute it to a select group.
This allows you to amplify the reach of your research, with written summaries for your IR site, newsletters, or client follow-up.
5. Multinational Audience Support
If you’re sharing equity research with global investors, we offer dial-in numbers for global access, and time zone-sensitive scheduling assistance.
No matter where your audience is, we ensure a local-feeling experience that’s aligned with your firm’s global presence.
