2005–2006 U.S. Equity Research
Industry Outlook

For decades, the least glamorous part of the financial services industry was the equity research department. However, charges of biased sell-side research a few years ago led to a slew of developments that have completely reordered this once sleepy industry.

This includes Regulation FD in 2000, the Sarbanes Oxley legislation of 2002, the Global Research Analyst Settlement, and this year's transparency rules instituted by the FSA. The most recent shoe to drop was Fidelity Investments decision to stop using commissions to pay for research, choosing instead to pay Lehman Brothers $7.0 million in cash for their equity research.

Integrity Research Associates' 2005–2006 Equity Research Industry Outlook examines the impact of these various developments on the research industry as a whole, and the likely consequences for sell-side, buy-side and independent research over the next 5 years.
