Discovery can help clearing firms and custodians expand relationships and gain new business with extensive information on over 1.9 million financial services industry professionals and firms. Target firms that fit your client demographic, identify firms with brokerage operations, communicate through phone, email and direct mail campaigns, perform competitive analyses, analyze and profile clients and prospects, and conduct market research.

Segment the Market

• The Discovery databases are updated weekly to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information.
• Utilize demographic filters such as:
  • Business and home contact information
  • Services offered
  • Clearing firms/custodians used
  • BD profile including types (i.e. wirehouse, independent, regional)
  • BD affiliations
  • Assets Under Management, in certain cases
  • Average account size
  • Radius tool to locate targets in certain towns/areas

Discovery provides us with easy access to essential information about registered investment advisers and registered representatives and their associated broker-dealers. The data from Discovery quickly populates our CRM system and efficiently narrows in and targets a specific market. Aside from the convenient information these databases provide, Discovery has helped save us a lot of money.

Integrate Expansive, Up-To-Date Data into Your CRM

• With Discovery having recorded over 50,000 registered reps having switched broker-dealers in the past two years, clearing firms and custodians find themselves using out of date CRM systems. Discovery continuously tracks industry movement within our databases to notify you of the firms affected down to the individual that moved, keep you abreast of industry trends throughout the year, update your CRM system with our data services, and improve efficiency and productivity. We flag reps no longer in business, introduce newly-registered reps and track reps from their previous employer to their current firm.
