Rivel Research Group

With more than 25 years in the business, conducting over 150 perception studies per year, and working with companies on 6 continents, Rivel is the largest global perception study provider.

Rivel studies offer actionable insight that a company needs to keep pace with today’s fluid environment for investor communications, such as identifying key opportunities, uncovering potential vulnerabilities (and possible triggers for activists) and helping ensure that its investment appeals are better appreciated among its core constituency.

Rivel provides companies the unique opportunity to gauge perceptions across multiple perspectives – the investment community, senior management and the board – in its newest offering Rivel 360˚. This perception research not only allows you to assess how investors and analysts are aligned with company executives and directors, but also confirm alignment within the C-suite and boardroom.

Rivel has 6 key differentiators:

1. Objective

Research is our only business, with our advice driven solely by direct feedback we receive from the investment community. It is unaffected by investment banking or consulting-type relationships. It is not guided by other services that we offer. What you receive is 100% objective data.

2. Qualitative

Nearly half of the questions we ask in our survey projects are open-ended. These discussion questions allow our executive interviewers to probe beneath the surface, getting at the deeper meanings behind answers.

3. Quantitative

Measuring intangible processes like building relationships with the investment community can be difficult. Qualitative feedback alone can only provide a “feel” for what is going on. Our meticulous quantification delivers information that is precise, credible and insightful, as well as supportive of the qualitative data.

4. Comparative

For the purposes of benchmarking, Rivel has conducted research and archived data on over 1,000 investor research projects. Comparing quantified results to other companies and over time puts the data into the context you need to assess past, present and future performance, as well as trends affecting your firm and industry.

5. Reliable

Our market intelligence is obtained using proven marketing research methodologies. We do not rely on anecdotal information garnered from a variety of different sources. A key strength inherent in our sample design is the ability to interview the right people. Additionally, all of Rivel’s research is comprehensive and representative.

6. Actionable

While fundamental investor research is the basis for our advice, it simply isn’t enough. We deliver findings, make sense of them, put them into context and provide you with action steps. In-person presentations to management teams and boards are a key part of this process as having a third-party in Rivel deliver the research findings is more impactful.
