NEW YORK, March 1, 2022 - Helios Life Enterprises, pioneer in voice-based tonal analysis, today announced the launch of a new product, Comprehend Elite.

Comprehend Elite is available for demonstrations at Helios Life Enterprises for quantitative teams, offering an increased number of improved trading opportunities to maximize portfolios.

“Comprehend: Elite represents an order of magnitude improvement over the previous generation. This was only made possible by a world-class audio and signal processing research team that can leverage our unique cloud platform. We are pushing forward with our mission to revolutionize audio data in finance” shared Sean Austin, Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder.

Helios’ Comprehend Elite capabilities include:

• Doubled neurolinguistic tonal features from 104 to 204 and improved analysis algorithms with demonstrated 60+ basis points of excess return utilizing simple trading strategies
• Expanded coverage of all U.S.-based equities (4,500+) and their executives
• Tonal fingerprinting for all executives unlock new insights per event (e.g., voice tone of the CEO vs. the CFO)  and enables temporal comparative analyses (e.g., the voice of the executive before and after an announced merger)
• Provides tonal analytics for new events types (corporate presentations, multi-party conferences, investor days, and special announcements) as well as standard earnings calls
  

Austin adds, “Clients can now peer even deeper into the conversations that are being listened to across the US. No longer are they limited to just 1,000 companies. We have unlocked nearly every corporate audio event for analysis to be done. By tagging the speaker entity, an entirely new channel of alpha generation is possible. Did the CEO sound different than the CFO? Essentially are they at odds with one another? For any particular company, this could be a game-changer in terms of proper conversational intelligence.”
