ECI is a joint venture of Embera Partners and Captrace — combining Embera’s shareholder intelligence, capital markets advisory and IR-expertise with Captrace’s technology and software infrastructure.
Companies increasingly need to understand not only who owns their shares, but why investors behave the way they do, how ownership structures evolve over time, where strategic risks arise and how shareholder engagement can actively contribute to long-term value creation. Activating any shareholder group, from retail investors, to active and passive investors as well as hedge funds, to ensure corresponding support for the different capital markets use cases will be key for corporates, irrespective of their size and industry.
Listed companies across Europe use ECI to identify their beneficial owners at fund level, understand how their investors behave and take the right action supporting their strategic cap-table development, before an AGM, leading up to an M&A transaction, or preparing for a shareholder activist campaign.
Combining state of the art technology with advanced shareholder intelligence, governance insight and regulatory expertise, ECI transforms ownership data into actionable intelligence that supports better capital markets decisions.
Built on state of the art technology, using direct SWIFT, custodian and investor access, ECI’s SRD II-native infrastructure and AI-powered analytics layer turns raw ownership data into intelligence your IR team, board and advisors can act on: for strategic cap-table development, before an AGM, leading up to an M&A transaction, or preparing for a shareholder activist campaign.
