Introduction
Fat Tail Investment Research’s mission is to help everyday Australians become better, happier, and more successful investors. They publish a wide range of independent research materials, including e-letters, financial publications, and investment advisories; all designed to provide information about investing and wealth protection.
Statisticians refer to the bulges on the extremities of bell-shaped curves as ‘fat tails’. Instead of tailing off as they are supposed to, these rare events seem to swell up where unexpected. That’s why their name is ‘Fat Tail’ Investment Research — their business investigates them. They are Australia’s largest publisher of independent financial research and a reputable source for investing-related analysis and commentary since 2005.

Fat Tail Investment Research Uses Taboola’s Unique Targeting Capabilities to Achieve Success
Fat Tail Investment Research takes advantage of a variety of Taboola’s targeting capabilities to ensure the success of their campaigns.
In order to reach relevant audiences, Fat Tail Investment Research uses Taboola’s Data Marketplace to reach audiences interested in finance, stocks, and trading. They also use geotargeting capabilities to focus on audiences in New South Wales, Victoria, and other areas throughout Australia.
Bids are automatically optimised with Taboola Smart Bid, Taboola’s automated bidding platform. For each impression, Smart Bid uses
campaign and Taboola’s network conversion data to predict how likely a user is to convert and adjusts the bid accordingly.
Results are tracked and measured with the implementation of the Taboola Pixel, which allows advertisers to understand the actions people take on their site, and to optimise their marketing campaigns towards desired and valuable actions.
According to Fat Tail Investment Research, Taboola’s dedicated account management team has continued to provide valuable support and recommendations that ultimately improve results across each campaign.
“Taboola account managers have been essential to the success of our campaigns. Their support and wealth of knowledge is overwhelming, and they’re always finding new ways to provide value to our business.” “We’ve worked with Taboola for many years, and we see no signs of that partnership ceasing anytime soon. We look forward to expanding our partnership with Taboola in the years ahead as they continue to work closely with our business to achieve exceptional results.”
