When the cost and quality of research has never been under so much scrutiny, how is it possible for sell-side firms to objectively measure their performance?
With research and execution services now unbundled as part of MiFID II regulations, already cost-restrained buy-side firms are being required to purchase research and carefully justify expenditures.
This means that sell-side firms must find ways to monetize their research offerings, as well as demonstrate their value, rationalize pricing and manage the administrative challenges of distribution.
Measuring the effectiveness of their research is increasingly important as firms strive to highlight their team’s strengths and the competitive quality of research.
