Expert Networks and the Convergence of Data and Research

In recent years, more investment advisers have been using expert network transcripts both for primary research and as sources of alternative data.  Our panel, which brings years of combined SEC and industry experience, will discuss the potential compliance implications of this trend, particularly in the wake of the SEC Examination staff's April 2022 RIsk Alert on Investment Adviser MNPI Compliance Issues.  Among other things, the panel will address the different forms of expert network transcripts, what registrants should consider before transcribing their own expert network calls or consuming transcripts generated by third parties, and the pros and cons of relying on transcripts instead of live expert calls.  We will also discuss how expert network clients can mitigate risk when conducting research in China following the recent news that China-based Capvision was raided by state security authorities.
