Quartr, a startup in financial software, inks an API agreement with Smartkarma, a Sequoia-backed investment research network, to reach over 250 institutional asset management businesses, primarily in Asia. Through the agreement, Smartkarma's customers will get access to Quartr's database of earnings calls, associated documents, reports, and slide decks, giving them a solid starting point for doing in-depth analysis. Additionally, this expands the channels via which public firms' information can be distributed.
 
With the signing of yet another significant API agreement, this time with the Asian-first financial research platform Smartkarma, Quartr has achieved another milestone in its effort to bring the financial community closer together. Through its financial research platform, the agreement enables Smartkarma's broad network of institutional asset management firms and investor relations specialists to easily access essential first-party material such as earnings calls, accompanying documents, reports, and slide decks.
 
"We are thrilled to announce our first Asia-focused partnership, providing Smartkarma's extensive network, including both finance and investor relations professionals, with crucial information. We are convinced that our API solution will be value-creating for investors, online brokers, and research platforms like Smartkarma worldwide, and not least for public companies as this enables them to get their equity stories told to a much wider audience," comments Sami Osman, CEO & Co-founder of Quartr.
 
"Quartr's technology makes it incredibly easy for research analysts, investors, and IR professionals to dial into company conference calls, skip straight to Q&A and browse associated corporate presentations. By natively integrating all this technology into Smartkarma's desktop and mobile apps, we have unlocked seamless access to first-party information from public companies. Smartkarma network members will now be able to listen to company calls while reading insights or researching on entity pages of over thousands of publicly listed companies globally. This sits squarely with our tech-first approach towards uniting investors, insight providers, and issuers on one network," comments Raghav Kapoor, CEO & Co-founder of Smartkarma.
