Company Background Information:
SumZero is the world's leading community for buy-side investment professionals, with over 3,500 elite hedge fund and mutual fund analysts/portfolio managers as members. Nearly every major fund is represented in the SumZero userbase, including SAC, Citadel, Madison Dearborn Partners, Farallon, Baupost, Fidelity, Wellington, Blackstone, KKR, etc.

SumZero affords the opportunity to access a database of over 2,100 detailed investment recommendations written exclusively by your peers at other hedge funds/mutual funds. This is the largest database of buy-side research content in the world, and is available at no charge to SumZero members.

SumZero is now making one investment recommendation per week from its community available to the public. For the first time, individual investors can access hedge fund level content, which, given the closed and secretive nature of the industry, is by itself revolutionary.
