All deals are verified by a senior researcher before they are published on ZEPHYR to ensure consistently high quality information.
From within the deal record you can access company reports and peer group analyses from BvDEP’s company information products – ideal for assessing company value.
The software also allows you to search the deals and advisors to identify those that match your criteria. Integral analysis options allow you to compare deals against each other. These can be presented in tables and graphs. Information from ZEPHYR can be downloaded into most packages.
You can also create your own, tailored league tables of advisors. An advanced e-mail alert system allows you to track deals and have their progress sent to your in-box. For example, you can be alerted to a change in deal status such as from rumour to announced. You can tailor your alert system by sector, country, companies or choose to monitor particular advisors.
