Securities and equity research
CIR in-depth, unbiased research is presented in plain words and unambiguous graphics, so that an investment executive can investigate carefully a market or a company, its assets, markets and its position. We help the fund manager and his client be more competitive, reduce risk, and generate better returns through high quality, creative, original, independent research. An hour away from the City of London, we are close enough to give good in-person access to analysts as part of our service, but we are also able to be independent-minded. We do not offer trade execution, not are we bound to any particular broker. The early stage of adoption of independent investment research means that we run a consulting business for companies at present; but we do not own shares in those companies, nor would we provide investment research to institutional investors about those we've worked for. We currently are able to name all of our consulting clients who are companies.
CIR profiles of early stage companies contain information on the management team, ownership, financing history, company timeline, partners & significant external relationships, analyses of funding requirements, intellectual property and product portfolio timelines, as well as market, supply chain, strength-weakness, competitor and investor-fit analysis.
We can produce monthly, quarterly, or irregular frequency investment research publications involving independent investment research, analysis, statistics, and strategy to your specification. For instance, a public agency, broker or fund manager hire us to write, edit and produce its in-depth, independent investment research for its executives. This way, they and their clients have a fully transparent, functionally-separated and process that they can scrutinise.
Market research and analysis
We specialise in direct market research, and intelligent analysis and appraisal of new markets, often for medium-sized companies. We value market research including direct conversations with business leaders as important alongside good, unbiased analytics, in writing excellent, current research.
Strategic and financial consultancy
This is based on our market research and analysis. We offer it to companies, often large but also SMEs and other institutions. We work closely with our customers and adapt quickly to their needs.
Commercial diligence
We will investigate the business model and market of a potential investee, from early-stage through to SMEs that are being revisited by investors, who want a second, independent opinion.
