ACF Equity Research signs My Language Connection as Official Language Partner

There is growing demand for investment research globally across languages and cultures outside of the English native speaking markets.

Global Research House ACF Equity Research (ACF) announced My Language Connection (MLC) as its official language partner. ACF writes and distributes research globally, which is why accurate clear effective translations are so important to improve investor reach and inspire confidence in investors.

“Investment research is continually evolving,” says Christopher Nicholson, Managing Director and Head of Research at ACF Equity Research. “We’re constantly looking at ways we can add value for our global clients and investor readers. English may well be the Universal language, but rightly, people want information in their native language.”

There’s been a noticeable rise in demand for multilingual or translated research notes, arguably coinciding with the increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, the nuances of investment research require a quality-driven, human approach to ensure the integrity of the research is maintained.

“Translating for technical industries is complex” says Victoria Nicol, Founder and Managing Director at MLC. “Machine Translation offers a mere fraction of the capabilities of the human brain and is simply not capable of capturing contextual and cultural nuances. Only native, human translators with the right level of experience in technical, financial translations can truly provide accuracy and guarantee quality. Plus, corrective actions of using AI are costly and time consuming.”

“AI translations have the potential to build mistaken confidence in the reader when making something as critical as an investment decision and may well turn out to be a false economy, when it comes to presenting investment information” continues Christopher, who is a keynote speaker at the Annual OTC Markets Issuers Forum in London on 1stDecember 2022 at the East India Club. “Leaving the reader with the impression they can understand and make significant decisions on the basis of poor-quality translations or lacking contextual knowledge is dangerous.”

MLC offer a range of technical language services. This partnership allows ACF to immediately offer accurate, high quality multilingual research notes as part of its services to its clients and their investors.
