Tamale RMS

Optimize the value of research to improve due diligence and decision making

Thorough research and rigorous due diligence are crucial to making timely and informed investment decisions. Yet buyside firms are inundated with research data. It comes from many sources, takes many forms and often resides in many places, making it extremely difficult to organize, search and find critical information. As a result, investment teams may not be applying their collective knowledge as effectively as possible in idea generation, deliberations, and decisions.

Tamale RMS is the research management solution purpose-built by and for investment professionals. It provides a centralized repository for organizing all research data, both internal and external, in one place—making it easy to access, search, find and share information, and use it to its greatest effect.

Make faster, better informed decisions:

As the investment industry becomes increasingly data driven, the ability to strengthen and streamline the research process is no longer a luxury. It’s a competitive necessity—and a competitive advantage. Moreover, firms need to document the rationale for their investment decisions for compliance. And clients and prospects doing their own due diligence want to know you have a disciplined, transparent decision-making process.

Improve decision-making efficiency and quality:

With Tamale, investment teams spend less time searching for and organizing data, and more time vetting ideas and opportunities. Tamale strengthens team collaboration by getting everyone working from the same knowledge base. And Tamale accelerates the process from idea to decision, enabling teams to deliberate more opportunities in less time, thereby improving the productivity of your firm’s highest-value employees—the front office.

Gain an edge in the market:

Knowledge is your firm’s competitive edge. By bringing structure to research data, Tamale makes it easier to connect the dots quickly, sharpen your insights, and enrich the decision-making process. Avoid missed opportunities or acting too late due to a lack of information or insight.

Show smart thinking:

Tamale helps differentiate your business with clients and prospects by demonstrating a disciplined investment process. It can also serve as your system of record, documenting the reasons for investment decisions for compliance purposes.
