Head of Quantitative Sales, Global Corporate Events, Tmx Datalinx @TMX Group

Woburn, MA, US

For 20+ years, Wall Street Horizon\'s dedicated focus has been researching upcoming corporate events, including their dates and content and the revisions of their dates and content. Now known as TMX Global Corporate Events, we sit in the TMX Datalinx division of the Toronto Stock Exchange/ parent company is TMX Group. Our institutional investment clients create risk and trading strategies based on the volatility corporate events cause in stocks and the underlying options. We are primary, publicly sourced, ensuring strict adherence to Compliance, Timeliness and Accuracy. So compelling has been our research, that academics and journalists around the world make independent use of our data for their own research at their respective universities and firms. Their subsequent publications appear in the leading financial and academic journals, as well as capital markets news sources. Our in-house analysts conduct extensive outreach to publicly traded companies and constantly research and update each company\'s upcoming corporate events. They know when they are not “seeing” corporate event data that they should be and will immediately investigate. Fine-tuned over the past decade, this process also includes a range of technologies, including automated data gathering tools, machine-readable feeds and proprietary forecasting algorithms and parsing engines. As we know some companies only issue information via a press release, we also research dozens of company-issued newswires and get that information out to our clients in machine readable formats. We recognize all of our clients have access to a market data terminal. They choose us in addition, however, for our accuracy, timeliness & expertise in corporate events. We deliver our data in seconds, minutes and hours and via sftp/api/streaming socket. We provide detailed specification guides and readily answer content and tech questions. Give me a shout and let\'s talk shop!
