Research is as the heart of our UK investment banking and institutional stockbroking business. Our research team comprises 18 analysts covering around 160 companies focused predominantly on small & mid cap companies within the following sectors:

• Software & Services
• Telecoms
• IT Hardware/Electronics
• Speciality Financials
• Mining
• Oil
• Real Estate
• Life Sciences
• Media
• Food/Beverage
• Leisure/Transport
• Retail
• Support Services
• Smaller Companies

Our approach is to avoid maintenance research and to focus on industry themes and in-depth forensic analysis, within which comparative research and analytical consistency are important.

The individual analysts work closely with our Sales, Sales Trading and Trading teams and several of the sectors have dedicated specialist sales support; this ensures our research is focused and commercial, whilst retaining objectivity.
