Helios’ Launches Comprehend: Composites Platform for Accessible Tonal Insights

NEW YORK, September 6, 2022 - Helios Life Enterprises, pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, today announced the launch of new product, Comprehend Composites, in partnership with Exabel. Composites is the latest addition to Comprehend - a product suite that allows investors to tap into the power of voice tone.

Composites is the world’s first and only offering that provides voice tone analytics to the financial industry. Previously, Helios exclusively supplied unprecedented tonal information to systematic hedge funds which require massive datasets, robust REST APIs and precise raw vocal data. The Composites product enables fundamental firms and non-quants alike to leverage the same underlying quantitative data in a visual format that elevates earnings intelligence and corporate communications analysis.

Comprehend Composites is available for demonstrations at Helios Life Enterprises, offering an increased number of improved trading opportunities to maximize portfolios.

“Our Comprehend: Elite offering that launched in Q1 2022 represented the next generation of tonal research data designed for the systematic funds of the world. This powerful foundation was the basis for creating Comprehend: Composites in partnership with Exabel,” said Helios CEO and Co-Founder - Sean Austin. “We know the ability to visualize aggregate forecasts from our data enables a whole new type of customer to benefit. This product offering is bringing the next wave of intelligence into the marketplace.”

Composites helps investors understand the entire conversation - 40% more to be exact – through cutting edge analysis. Tone of voice accounts for 40% of human communication, simply too much to ignore.

Within Composites’ sleek and easy to use insights platform, powered by Exabel, users have access to:

• Curated insights: Tonal KPIs and indicators that can help predict earnings surprises a quarter ahead to price action movements and many more
• Wide Coverage: More than 4,500 equities - nearly every US public company - and their executives (10,000+)
• Historical data: Backed by more than 20 years of events and more than 600,000 hours of comprehensive audio understanding
• Numerous event types: Earnings calls, corporate presentations, conferences and more
• Event Listening Access: Aiera integration provides licensed users free streaming access to all events
  
  

Tone of voice, via Helios’ audio analysis, reveals information not registered by traditional text-based NLP analysis and fundamental data, and is better suited to detect the inner state of an executive. Composites represents a generational shift: more institutional investors will incorporate new forms of alternative data, including tonal AI, into their portfolios.

About Exabel

Exabel is an analytics platform for any investment professional who wants to benefit from alternative data and modern data science tools in their investment process. It fulfills a growing need in financial markets: while use of data - including fundamental, market, proprietary and alternative data - is critical for asset managers, modeling such data in house has become an excessive use of time and resources for all but the very largest investment firms. Exabel's SaaS-delivered platform enables discretionary managers to complement their fundamental strategies with more data-driven techniques. It is the missing piece that allows investment teams to benefit from alternative data immediately. Exabel is currently growing rapidly having raised $22.7m and increased the team to 40 employees with more hiring underway.
