Investment reports contain qualitative information from numerous sources. Due to the huge volume of online business information, it is increasingly difficult for financial analysts to track and read all relevant texts. In this paper, we develop a novel tool to assist financial analysts when writing an investment report. We perform multi-class classification on business texts to categorise them into informative investment topics. Using active learning we show that we can obtain the same F1-Score of 0.74 with 58% less data.
