Helios Life Enterprises Releases Comprehend: Launch, First Of Its Kind Voice-Based Tonal Analysis Product

NEW YORK, March 15, 2021 - Helios Life Enterprises, pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, today announced the release of new product, Comprehend: Launch. Built upon the success of Helios’ beta product, Comprehend: Launch enables clients to learn more about organizations based on executives’ tone of voice. Helios’ cutting-edge AI technology leads to increased alpha and more informed trading strategies.

Financial markets are often influenced by earnings calls. Historically, investors have guided their decisions on the text of an executive’s speech. However, from decades of research and infinite personal experiences, we know what is being said is only half the story. The other half is how the words are communicated. In fact, tone of voice accounts for nearly 40% of human communication. Tone holds vital clues that can leak independent and quantitative information about a person’s internal state. Until now, metrics on voice tone have not been widely available or systematically incorporated into investors’ decision-making. Enter Helios Life Enterprise and the new Comprehend: Launch.

"Comprehend: Launch is the pinnacle of our Product Roadmap to date. This represents a massive increase in equity coverage while expanding the tonal fingerprints that we can provide our customers. We've already seen tremendous feedback from initial evaluations and we know this sets the stage for even more scaled growth in our tonal voice offerings. I cannot applaud our product and engineering team enough given the speed in which we continue to deliver,” said Sean Austin, Helios Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Helios’ Comprehend: Launch capabilities include:

• Includes 104 neurolinguistic tonal features with analysis algorithms
• Coverage of all Russell 1000 equities and their executives
• Provides tonal analytics for earnings calls
  

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

Helios sits on the cutting edge of alternative data and bolsters an alternative approach to alpha generation that helps investors generate novel sources of alpha to outpace the market.  To learn more about the value of voice-based analysis, read our white paper authored by Helios Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Gerwin Schalk.
