Insight Providers (IPs) are independent research providers, carefully selected by Smartkarma’s Research Team to publish Insights on the Smartkarma platform. They have diverse backgrounds, hailing from a mix of large independent research houses including investment banks, research firms, and financial institutions like BofA Merrill Lynch, HSBC, S&P Global, Citi, CLSA, and more.

They also come from boutique research operations, and are individual analysts, data scientists, consultants, and academics. 

Smartkarma has over 200 Insight Provider firms, who have published more than 50,000 Insights on over 4,000 listed companies across all GICS sectors.

Smartkarma has a dedicated Research team that reviews every applicant who wants to be an IP on the platform. A very stringent selection process is set in place to filter the most relevant IPs who are veterans in their field of research. The acceptance rate is less than 10 percent of applications received and most IPs on Smartkarma have 8+ years of experience.

The Research team does not just receive and field applications; it also actively recruits Insight Providers with the same stringent selection process.
