Cranford, NJ
BWG Strategy (“BWG”), a leading primary research platform for institutional investors and corporations, announced today that it has changed its name to BWG Global, effective immediately. This rebranding marks a significant milestone for BWG following its 2023 acquisition of OTR Global.
BWG Global offers a comprehensive suite of proprietary research products to investment professionals at leading hedge funds, mutual funds, long-only investment firms, family offices and corporations through a single delivery platform. On an annual basis, BWG Global creates more than 2,500 content pieces that enhance investment managers' research mosaic and decision-making. Built on more than 30 years of investment research experience, proven methodologies and deep domain expertise across various industry sectors and regions, BWG Global delivers unparalleled insights and value to its clients.
Jon Kurzner, CEO of BWG Global, said, “Today is an exciting milestone for our company as we take the next step forward. Our new name brings together familiar elements of the two established research brands into a single identity. It represents how we are known in the institutional investment community and among our extensive network of active industry contributors around the world, and of course it is the brand identity that powers our incredible team who work diligently to produce timely, high-quality research.”
He added: “We are one company and one team that is well positioned to offer a variety of research products and services. Some of our products are already familiar to many of our clients and will remain governed by their existing methodologies and grounded in the long-standing relationships with distinct, recurring industry contributors and sources. We are also dedicated to developing new products enabling us to synthesize more research findings and conclusions and to deliver incremental research in new ways to our clients.”
