Oportun Wins Rivel 5.0 Award for Management Access
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Dec. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oportun (Nasdaq:OPRT), a mission-driven fintech and digital banking platform, announced today that the company was recognized by Rivel, Inc. with a 2022 Rivel 5.0 Investor Award for Management Access. The Rivel 5.0 Awards recognize companies that receive a 5.0 or higher score (on a scale of 6) for 11 different categories in an investor perception study conducted by Rivel.
Rivel perception studies are formulated by interviews with both buy-side and sell-side investment professionals, who are the sole arbiters over which companies are recognized with awards. In a recent Rivel perception study, Oportun scored ratings for management credibility and access to senior management that were leading amongst all financial services companies, and companies with similar market capitalizations. Oportun was recognized with the award at Rivel’s 2022 GuideLign Conference in New York City.
“Oportun is committed to excellence, transparency, and accuracy across our business,” said Jonathan Coblentz, Oportun’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer. “We’re pleased that this recognition from Rivel, sourced directly from the investment community, validates our team’s adherence to these important principles in our interactions with current and prospective investors.”
“Our 30 years of research within the professional investment community globally have repeatedly shown that corporate leadership is the absolute most important driver of investment decisions among active investors. Providing analysts and portfolio managers with ample access to senior management is therefore a critical building block of a company’s market valuation,” said Gene Rubin, President of Rivel. “Oportun Financial exemplifies this trait as it has ranked at the top of the first quartile among the 500+ studies we’ve completed over the last 5 years.”
