Research Boutique Focuses on Company Management and Alternative Data

Excerpt from Integrity Research Associates. See original here.

“Paragon Intel’s core research product is the CEO Change Report, which provides deep-dive due diligence on new CEOs. After the announcement of a management change, Paragon assigns an analyst to conduct fundamental analysis on a company to determine key issues and opportunities. It researches the new CEO’s background to develop a question set and identify interview contacts, which are then given to former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters for interviews. The report also includes background checks on the new CEOs.

In addition to the CEO Change Reports, the firm offers JetTrack, a proprietary database of corporate jet usage covering over 4,000 companies globally…A major use case of JetTrack is helping to anticipate M&A transactions…Paragon also uses JetTrack to evaluate corporate behavior such as identifying CEOs regularly travelling to Palm Beach on Thursdays and returning Tuesday, or, in the case of ServiceMaster’s new CEO, a significant increase in customer visits during the first six months of his tenure.”
