Distribution Hub & Digital Delivery
Governed distribution for research and data: a branded API and MCP endpoint for client systems and AI tools, plus PDF, email and SFTP. Every delivery entitled, logged.
The shift
Your clients' systems are becoming the reader
Buy-side clients now pull research through their own platforms and AI assistants. Managed well, that shift becomes your strongest channel: client workflows connect directly to you, under your brand, on your terms. The Distribution Hub is how research firms make it work for them.

More channels, more blind spots. One governed layer closes them.
Cash Equities & Sales
Clients want research inside their own systems. Make yours the path they use.
Distribution Hub
A channel you own, with rules you set
Your channel, your brand
A white-label API and MCP endpoint running on your infrastructure, under your own security policies. Client systems and AI agents retrieve your research directly from you, with your name on every response.
Your entitlement rules
Access is tailored per client and enforced at the endpoint, with fail-safe defaults for restricted, embargoed and region-locked content. Rate limits keep consumption inside what each client pays for.
Every delivery accounted for
Each call is logged in detail: who retrieved what, when, through which channel. The record is ready for compliance reporting, and it turns programmatic delivery into hard evidence for the broker vote.
The channel itself becomes a product
Soft dollar commissions or hard dollar subscriptions, both supported on one platform, with entitlements and logging doing the accounting.
Analytics
Know what earns the broker vote
Digital delivery returns detailed data about how clients consume research: which reports draw attention, which analysts create engagement, which channels get used, including API and AI-driven consumption. Analytics sharpen coverage decisions and integrate with specialized CRM applications, turning consumption into evidence when research spend is negotiated.
