In an information driven world, finding competitive edge has become increasingly difficult for professional investors
While the volume of research produced by the big banks has rocketed in the past decade, quality has often struggled to keep up. 2-3 million reports are sent every year to the average asset management firm, yet less than 5% are actually read.
Within this flood of research, there are gems. Delivering out-performance often comes from ideas formed with fresh and informed material, sourced from niche or new research providers. Beyond traditional bulge-bracket bank research, there are currently over 2,000 sources of independent research already targeting asset managers.
In an unbundled world, fund managers will have more independence in how to spend research budgets. With such a numerous and highly fragmented list of providers, finding the relevant content is currently time consuming if not near impossible.
To make the most of the research being brought, Fund Managers require a technology-led, centralised solution providing instant access, a wide community of ideas and specialists distilled with pinpoint search accuracy.
