Investment Research Infrastructure for RIA Firms

A Research Department in a Box.
For a Fraction of the Cost.

Most advisors spend 7-10 hours per week on investment research. That's time not spent with clients.

We build custom research infrastructure that does the heavy lifting: 70,000+ securities scored across five dimensions, backed by 14 peer-reviewed studies. Calibrated to your philosophy. Built exclusively for your firm.

The Real Cost of Not Having This

Three problems. One solution.

Most RIA firms are losing time, overpaying for tools, and leaving alpha on the table.

YOU'RE LOSING TIME
7-10 hrs/week
spent on investment research that could be client-facing.

$170K-$280K
per year for one quant analyst (fully loaded with benefits).
Or $32K/yr per Bloomberg seat

YOU'RE LEAVING ALPHA ON THE TABLE
1.1% per year
lost to behavioral gaps that better research eliminates.
= $1.1M/yr on $100M AUM

What if you could solve all three for less than 30% of a single analyst's salary?

The Research Behind the System

Four research-backed pillars.

Each pillar addresses a specific inefficiency in how most advisory firms conduct investment research.

Removes Human Bias

Automated analysis produces balanced buy, hold, and sell signals, unlike Wall Street's 47% buy / 6% sell skew. Faster revisions. No conflicts of interest.

Separates Winners from Value Traps

Piotroski's 9-point financial health score adds 7.5% annual alpha to value stocks. Sloan's accruals filter catches earnings manipulation before it shows up in returns.

Multi-Factor Integration

Value and momentum are negatively correlated. Combining them boosts the Sharpe ratio ~50% vs. either alone. Blending fundamental + technical nearly doubles returns.

Ryan Maluski

CEO & Chief Research Architect

Built by an architect, not a salesman.

FivePoint Signal Analytics was founded on a simple observation: the research that drives most investment decisions is structurally compromised. Wall Street analysts rate 47% of stocks a buy and only 6% a sell. That's not analysis. That's a sales funnel.

For RIA firms, this creates a specific problem: you're either spending hours doing your own research, paying six figures for an analyst, or relying on the same conflicted research as everyone else. None of those options scale.

We build custom, independent research infrastructure grounded in 14 peer-reviewed studies. Every system is calibrated to the firm's investment philosophy, delivered as a private dashboard, and supported by an ongoing retainer. The result: institutional-grade research at a fraction of the institutional cost.
