Gerard Hallaren's Company

TownHall Investment Research Who we are
TownHall Investment Research is an independent investment research provider driven by combining securities analysis with active monitoring of buyer intentions and activity. This is not a "channel-checking" methodology. Our process cultivates and characterizes buyer behavior and combines it with solid, disciplined securities analysis.

Our Goal
Our goal is to provide institutional investors with actionable research by combining our securities analysis with active inputs from our platform of pre-qualified and selected industry experts and consultants. These experts and consultants contribute unique insight into buyer behavior, competition, channel activity, and therefore our investment research.

Our Edge
We deliver research based on input from experts combined with disciplined, focused securities analysis. Our process continuously seeks and screens expert and consultant candidates before we retain them. We typically interview and screen more than a dozen candidates for each one we retain. To meet our goal of delivering actionable research, we continuously filter and focus industry views and data points for only the most and investment relevant insights. Our analysts are not constrained by traditional sell side silos allowing us to analyze issues from multiple perspectives and companies.
