Business Intelligence Advisors provides unique investment research based on behavioral analysis. BIA’s methodology systematically measures and analyzes corporate disclosures to help our clients guard against bias, identify hidden risks, build conviction and identify market-uncorrelated alpha-generating investment insights.
BIA Expert Analyst research is -produced by BIA’s experienced TBA analysts and provide an in-depth analytical perspective and detailed follow-up questions appropriate for evaluations of both long and short positions, deep diligence and complex situations that require an adept behavioral lens.
Expert-produced investment research is used to analyze a wide range of company disclosures including earnings calls, press releases, broadcast interviews and other management commentary to filter out critical information from even the most carefully crafted corporate spin or rehearsed communications. By identifying where management communications are incomplete or lack transparency, BIA generates qualitative insights that help clients round out their fundamental analysis for a deeper understanding of the companies they invest in, strengthen their conviction in their investment theses and heighten their objectivity and alertness to potential risks.
Assessment® BIA’s proprietary Tactical Behavior Assessment® (TBA™) model was initially developed by the United States Intelligence Community (IC) and has been refined by BIA since 2001 while serving the world’s premier investment firms. Through its unique TBA methodology BIA evaluates the completeness and reliability of verbal and textual corporate disclosures. Using behavioral analysis, the TBA™ model deciphers the nuances of phrasing, word choice and level of shared detail that can better tell the story being shared with the public to reveal areas of hidden risk and information contained in public disclosures that others miss.
BIA clients use Expert-produced analysis at all stages of their investment decision processes from initial evaluation to portfolio monitoring. At clients’ request, BIA will also evaluate company disclosures over time as well as compare disclosures from multiple companies within the same industry or sector. BIA Investment Research is offered through an entirely customized model, analyzing only those company disclosures selected by clients for their use.

BIA’s proprietary Tactical Behavior Assessment® methodology was derived from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and is used to identify language and behavioral cues that indicate when an individual isn’t being entirely candid.
Founded in 2001 on the principle that methodologies originally developed for the national intelligence community could be powerfully applied to the private sector, BIA has been working with institutional investors, venture capital firms, private equity firms, and other entities since, helping them gain unique insights by using our approach.
