Research units of investment banks could be forgiven for thinking the world is an unfriendly place! First there was Elliot Spitzer, the reputational crisis and legal fines. Now there is an inexorable drift to unbundling. Even the SEC Chairman, William Donaldson, has weighed in about the short-termism and excessively narrow focus of analysts. So is the Enhanced Analytics Initiative, a project by major buy side clients to incentivise brokers to produce broader research of less tangible performance indicators, a welcome relief? Or is it yet more trouble, albeit well disguised?
