That was then

IPO monopoly

Research about companies listing in the public markets through initial public offerings (IPOs) has previously been monopolised by established players like investment banks. This used to put independent analysts and researchers at a disadvantage.

This is now

Level playing field

The evolution of regulatory frameworks around the world has opened the door for independent experts to gain access to companies that plan to go public, before analysts in banks that are working on those IPOs.

The benefits

No conflict
Independent analysts who are not directly involved in the IPOs provide unbiased, balanced research and analysis that is more valuable to investors.
Diversity
More experts having access to company management results in a broader spectrum of ideas and more sophisticated independent analysis.
Transparency
IPO research produced by banks involved in the IPOs can be influenced by the working relationship between the bank and company.
Depth
Independent Research Providers can specialise and find their niche in specific markets to produce differentiated, in-depth IPO research.
