Frequently asked questions
Tempus’ research is solely focused on the needs of investors. We partner with leading hedge funds, growth equity, and venture capital firms to help inform their investment decisions.
Tempus Insights research is proprietary and available only to our partners at investment firms. We occasionally publish case studies or white papers for broader distribution; any data shared in this way is fully anonymized and highly aggregated.
Tempus Insights exclusively partners with investment firms to support their research needs. We do not serve any other industries.
The purpose of the Advisor Agreement is to ensure all advisor partnerships meet our rigorous compliance standards, most importantly by preventing the disclosure of any material non-public information (MNPI). The Agreement also establishes the conditions of our partnership, including requiring that Advisors are not subject to any conflict of interest and have not been excluded by their employer from participating in our research.
In most cases, our research insights are aggregated across dozens of advisors that we engage with on a particular topic. Some projects require our clients to have more visibility into advisors’ identity; however, we can always accommodate requests for anonymization if required.
For each engagement, we determine with advisors an appropriate hourly rate of payment for completion of a call, survey, etc. Advisors are compensated as independent contractors of Tempus Insights.
