TownHall

 

Jamie Townsend and Gerard Hallaren formed TownHall.  Each with more than twenty-five years' experience developing and employing industry research in the investment research process.  Since 2007, we have built the research product and developed a large network of analysts who regularly contribute to TownHall's research product.  Having built a strong track record and solid base of institutional clients, TownHall has recently expanded and added a research sales effort headed by Ted Banzhaf.  Ted has more than 20 years’ experience in the investment business both on the institutional sales side and on the issuer side. 

Jamie previously served as President and CEO of SoundView Financial Group.  He was part of the original team at SoundView that delivered one of the first research products on Wall Street that incorporated traditional investment analysis with industry experts and consultants.  SoundView enjoyed a proprietary relationship with Gartner Group, the worlds’ leading IT consultant firm, enabled Jamie and his team to establish SoundView as one of the leading research sources for differentiated and consistently forward-looking research in the technology industry.

 

   

Ted has more than 15 years’ experience as an institutional salesperson working for a number of firms, but the bulk of his career was at Raymond James Financial where he opened the firm's first institutional branch office in La Jolla, California.  Subsequently, Ted served as President & CEO of SpatiaLight Technologies, a division of SpatiaLight, Inc., a public semiconductor manufacturer, from 2003 to 2007, where Ted experienced Wall Street, institutional investors, and the challenge of increasing shareholder value from an issuer’s perspective.

 

 

 

Through their combined experiences in industrial and institutional research, Jamie, Ted and the rest of the TownHall team have repeatedly demonstrated that superior research in high growth technology driven industries stems from a combination of industry expert input and disciplined securities analysis.  TownHall delivers differentiated research to clients in a timely and investment relevant fashion that has been, and continues to be, the hallmark of the company's efforts.
