Case Study: American Century Investments achieves more efficient small-cap value analysis with Canalyst

Value Fund Finds More Names, More Value-add Work Thanks to Canalyst’s Data Reliability

American Century Investments, a 60+ year-old global asset manager, needed a faster, more reliable way to evaluate small-cap value opportunities and manage the heavy workload of earnings season. The team was skeptical of data providers in the small-cap universe, where company information can be difficult to verify, and wanted better tools to support its fundamental analysis.

Canalyst provided reliable financial data, human-validated model inputs, and its Updater product to automatically refresh working models after earnings reports. American Century Investments said Canalyst’s data was significantly more reliable and that the Updater saved roughly an hour per company each quarter, freeing PMs and analysts to spend more time finding new ideas in the small-cap market.
