Context
For many investors, expert interviews provide valuable perspectives, but the process of arranging them can feel slow. Reviewing profiles, running compliance checks, and scheduling calls often add friction, even when the expert insights are worth it.

Key Insights

• Breaking the analog process: Traditional expert interviews remain valuable but come with tedious setup.
  
• Unique access: The Expert Transcript Library provides transcripts of interviews already conducted by other buy-side investors.
  
• Broader perspectives: Clients, competitors, former executives, and overseas voices are all accessible through searchable transcripts.
  
• Industry shift: Instead of paying thousands of dollars for sell-side analyst calls, asset managers are moving toward database subscriptions and expert transcripts as a more efficient, cost-effective alternative.
  

Client Perspective

Q: What makes the Expert Knowledge Bank different from traditional expert calls?

“Every time we finish an interview, I’m glad we did it. But the setup, profiles, compliance, and scheduling always feel analog. The Knowledge Bank cuts through that. We can instantly search and read transcripts conducted by other buy-side investors, which is both unique and incredibly useful.”

Q: What kind of insights have been most valuable?

“We’ve gained access to client feedback, competitor perspectives, opinions from former management planners, and overseas information. These are often overlooked but critical to judging a company’s true value. The expert insights are all there, in one place.”

Outcome
With the Expert Transcript Library, the client reduced reliance on expensive sell-side calls and gained a faster, more cost-effective way to explore companies. The service is shaping how fundamental asset management firms allocate research budgets, away from costly analyst chats and toward scalable expert-driven databases.
