A boutique firm challenging the equity research model:
Water Tower Research was founded by Wall Street veterans after witnessing a fundamental shift in the investment research industry that resulted in a declining knowledge base among investors, a lack of awareness, and a shrinking pool of fundamental research being conducted on companies across the micro-cap, small-cap, and more recently the mid-cap spectrum. In response to the information gap between companies and various constituents in the financial community, Water Tower Research provides a much-needed bridge between companies and investors, to reach a broader and more diverse group of investors in comparison to the traditional equity research distribution model.

Water Tower provides “research for the other 99%” from seasoned Wall Street analysts who help investors understand key strategies, industries, technologies, and drivers that impact the companies they cover. Through Water Tower’s state-of-the-art technology platform, powered by GS Direct, they are able to provide a broad portfolio of tools to communicate with investors, in addition to innovative and proactive products and digital strategies that provide valuable and consistent information flow.
