About
Empirical Research Partners provides data-driven research and on-request investment advice exclusively to institutional investors — including money managers, hedge funds, insurance companies and broker-dealers — both in the U.S. and abroad. The firm’s advisory work is delivered as an outgrowth of its core broker‑dealer business: it sells non‑customized proprietary research and, when requested by subscribers, provides tailored, high‑level advisory input rather than managing client assets or executing trades.
Empirical’s methodology centers on quantitative “Models” that combine top‑down macroeconomic and industry data with bottom‑up statistical analysis to characterize market style, risk and opportunity sets, primarily for equities and portfolio strategy. Its research produces ranked groupings (e.g., quintiles/deciles) and synthesized viewpoints intended to inform professional investors’ independent decision‑making rather than to recommend or transact individual securities.
Distinctive aspects of the firm include its primary registration and activity as a broker‑dealer—its principal business activity—which is less common among multi‑team advisory firms, and a meaningful international institutional subscriber base. It also differs from typical peers by serving no individual or retail clients and by not offering portfolio management for individuals, percentage‑of‑AUM billing, or retail financial planning; research and advisory compensation is negotiated and can be received via client‑directed soft‑dollar/commission sharing arrangements.

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
