Stream by AlphaSense versus Tegus: Which Investment Research Platform is Right for You?

Inex One reports that Tegus determines its subscription fees based on the assets under management (AUM) of a hedge fund, which typically results in an annual cost of around $20,000 to $25,000 per user. In addition to this fee, users are charged approximately $500 to $525 per call with an expert. That makes Tegus one of the pricier options on the market, although it comes loaded with plenty of expert call transcripts for buy-side professionals.
