This partnership levels the playing field for Japanese investors, giving them access to the same data that the largest hedge funds use. Rakuten Securities’ clients will be able to explore TipRanks’ top-level stock research tools to choose market-beating stocks.
To start with, they will quickly and easily find all the recent analyst ratings on a stock, along with the analysts’ forecasted price targets, implied upsides or downsides, and analyst rating consensus. In addition, they will engage with TipRanks’ customized, real-time lists of the most-rated stocks by analysts, giving them the means to discover the best stocks to invest in.
Even more, Rakuten Securities’ clients will tap into TipRanks’ data to learn where leading hedge funds are investing their money, giving them the ability to follow legendary hedge fund managers. They will easily discover which stocks comprise a hedge fund’s portfolio, as well as which stocks the hedge funds are buying or selling, adding or reducing.
Additionally, Rakuten Securities will display TipRanks’ lists of insiders who are buying or selling stocks. TipRanks’ technology scans SEC filings to identify the latest insider transactions, and interprets the data to determine whether the transactions are Informative or Uninformative. All insiders are measured and ranked based on their historical track records, so investors can quickly and easily decide, based on their rankings, which insiders they want to follow.
