NRI's e-AURORA XIRCLE is a platform that supports operations related to analyzing investments and gathering information from financial institutions, including securities firms and asset managers.

*For your business in Japan.

Overview

Are you confronted with the following problems when gathering corporate financial information?

  • In addition to data provided by vendors, you use original information released by companies when conducting analysis, which takes time and introduces risk as you have to manually enter the information from PDF files.
  • Non-financial information necessary to analyze growth potential, competition status, or corporate governance, is publicly available in various corporate documents, but gathering such information is labor-intensive. In addition, most of the information is not in a format that can be processed by computers.

NRI addresses these issues with e-AURORA XIRCLE.

e-AURORA XIRCLE is an SNS service used by corporations and institutional investors, including fund managers and analysts. The solution allows users to effectively exchange corporate data and share information on events, such as interviews and earnings briefings. Users have access to not only XBRL data released by all listed companies and all information that must be disclosed in accordance with regulatory requirements, but also non-financial data used for qualitative analysis expertly selected by NRI.

Financial institutions, such as broker dealers and asset managers

Functions for institutional investors and analysts

The service comes with various functions that help institutional investors and analysts effectively use the information disclosed by corporations.

Other functions allow firms to utilize XBRL data immediately after earnings are released, to search past corporate disclosure data, and to obtain and view various information provided by corporations, including IR content, in one convenient place and in a timely manner.
