The FocusFin Knowledge Base

A business knowledge base on the Israeli stock exchange and market

FocusFin aggregates and organises information about public companies, sectors and business topics in Israel. The knowledge base connects filings, articles, online chatter, social networks, financial report summaries, investor calls and update sequences — so you can search, monitor and gain a broader understanding of what is happening around a company, a sector or a trend.

What the FocusFin knowledge base includes

The FocusFin knowledge base is built around the information relevant to the Israeli capital market and business economy. It covers public companies, sectors, filings, articles, online chatter, social networks, financial report summaries, investor calls, update sequences and business topics that develop over time.

Public companies

Continuous information on exchange-traded companies, including filings, summaries, articles and topics emerging around each company.

Sectors and business topics

Information organised by field of activity, trends, economic themes and groups of companies sharing common characteristics.

Filings, articles and professional content

Connecting information from official sources, content sites, information bodies, professional publications and additional open sources.

Online and social network signals

Monitoring relevant public and business discussion across social networks, content sites, professional communities and open sources, where it relates to companies, sectors or business topics being tracked.

Report and investor call summaries

Surfacing the key points from financial reports, investor calls and company updates.

Update sequences

Connecting information items that relate to the same topic, company or ongoing event.

Information organised by companies, topics and business context

The value of the knowledge base is not only in collecting items, but in organising them. FocusFin connects information by company, sector, event type, source, business topic and development sequence — so you can understand not only what was published, but also how different pieces of information connect to one another.

  • By company
  • By sector
  • By business topic
  • By filing or event type
  • By information source
  • By relevant online or professional discussion
  • By development sequence
  • By connections between different sources

Not another news site. A system that also monitors what sits behind the news.

A news site shows what was selected for publication as an article. FocusFin monitors a broader information layer: official filings, articles, online chatter, social networks, investor calls, summaries and additional professional sources. Every item is associated with a company, sector or topic, presented in a clear abstract, and comes with a link to the source for verification and further reading.

The result is not another stream of headlines, but a focused information layer: what happened, which company or topic it relates to, why it may be relevant, and a link to the source for deeper reading.

Examples from the public information layer

FocusFin's public pages present selected examples from the system's information layer. They give a sense of the kinds of information FocusFin organises and surfaces, while inside the system itself there is a broader, personal and deeper information layer.

From the knowledge base to bespoke research and monitoring

The knowledge base is the foundation. On top of it you can run real-time monitoring, information processing and bespoke research around a company, sector, filing type, trend or professional topic — turning a broad information layer into a focused deliverable.
