Our Research Analysts are expert in all aspects of our method and in the ways we support different investing styles. Every day we have more than 40 researchers, including country and regional specialists for global market research and U.S.-focused teams, sifting through more than 70,000 securities then integrating their findings using our blended method. Our analysts have no outside influences, no ties to banking relationships. They support their recommendations with purely empirical findings that have been through an internal set of checks and balances. Their mandate is to make our recommendations and advice the source you go to first.
