Instinet Incorporated, a global leader in electronic trading and agency-only brokerage services, today announced that its Instinet, LLC subsidiary has entered into an exclusive agreement with Favus Institutional Research, LLC, an independent research provider (IRP) that focuses on the healthcare sector.
Under the terms of the agreement, Instinet will provide exclusive sales and marketing services for Favus.
Favus uses fundamental analysis to evaluate the sector, with a focus on commercial, clinical, legal, reimbursement and regulatory catalysts. Favus brings a successful forecast record, including the accuracy of its sell recommendations. As an independent research provider with no investment banking arm, Favus's sole mission is to produce meaningful research for clients. Favus research is produced by Elliot Favus, M.D., a board-certified internist and former Och-Ziff and Lazard research analyst.
"We're excited to expand our Access program with the addition of yet another high-quality IRP," said Jonathan Kellner, President of the Americas at Instinet. "Favus delivers a unique offering in the healthcare research space that will enhance our ability to help our clients in the alpha generation process."
"Instinet's sophisticated trading platform and agency-only model make it a natural partner for us," added Dr. Favus. "I am eager to combine our research product with Instinet's sales and trading capabilities."
Favus Institutional Research becomes the seventh IRP in the Instinet AccessTM program, which supports high-quality research providers with sales and marketing, account coverage, payment facilitation and other services across Instinet's institutional client base and beyond.
