One of the areas that Integrity seeks to address is the demand and supply function of research as it pertains to the investment process. In our Equity Research Industry Outlook, we tabulate all of the data and forecast the revenue picture for the Sell-side, Buy-side and alternative research industries. Given that the Global Research Settlement will expire relatively soon and the credit crunch has sell-side budgets getting squeezed, the outlook for the industry as a whole and the shares of each of the research suppliers is particularly uncertain. Specifically, the Global Research Settlement is related to the demand side of the research business and the credit crunch is certain to affect the supply side of the research equilibrium.
