About ModernIR

We started ModernIR to help the investor relations officer (IRO) shine with the C-Suite and Board. As an IRO, founder Tim Quast studied trading behavior in his company’s shares and recognized patterns that he categorized into market constituents: Active, Passive, Fast Trading, Risk Management. That became the basis for ModernIR, the invention of Market Structure Analytics, to understand the behavior of money in your shares. To know when Active investment is competing in the market to buy your shares. To understand when market structure signals an increase or decrease in stock price, regardless of what news you might put out. To recognize patterns of behavior indicating activism, patterns signaling direction in deal-arbitrage. And more. Flash forward almost 20 years, many algorithms written,technological advances made, innovations in application implemented, and ModernIR is the premier quantitative market intelligence provider to US-listed companies.
