4.15pm – 5:00pm Welcome refreshments and Networking
5.00pm – 6.30pm View from the US presented by Michael Mayhew
6.30pm – 7.30pm Members’ Drinks with Guests
We are very fortunate to host Michael Mayhew, Principal of Integrity Research, as our guest speaker, at an exclusive members event on Monday 12 November.
Mike is one of the leading experts on the US investment research industry. In addition to founding Integrity Research in 2003, Mike is a frequent speaker in both the US and Europe on research industry trends and developments and a prolific author for Integrity Research’s ResearchWatch publication.
With over 30 years’ experience as an investment research professional, Mike will be sharing his unique insights on the American investment research industry post MiFID II, how it is affecting the buy-side in the US and the unforeseen consequences for independent research providers.
As well as MiFID II, a strong theme in recent ResearchWatch articles has focused on transparent pricing. Mike will be sharing unique access to some of the results of Integrity Research’s Pricing Study. The 2017/2018 Study will reflect the insights of over 150 firms including independent research providers. Yet to be published, this presentation will provide our members with an exclusive insight into the results of the study.
To close, Mike has asked to speak to our members about Alternative Data. Heightened interest over the past 18 months for alternative data has resulted in unprecedented buy-side attendance at conferences in the US. Mike will be sharing his thoughts about the alternative data market, why he believes it is important for all independent research providers to understand the buy-side’s appetite for it, how they use and value it and how independent research providers can leverage new products and revenues from it.
We will be hosting an extended welcome with refreshments from 4.15pm for those members who want to arrive early to speak with Mike Mayhew, Euro IRP or perhaps to just catch up with other Euro IRP Members. After the event we will be extending an invitation to join Euro IRP for a drink in the Brand Exchange’s members lounge, with Mike Mayhew, Chris Deavin and the Board as well as guests such as Bloomberg, CSFI, FTI Consulting and Worldflow, who have been supporters of our work.
We hope this will be an informal, interactive and above all interesting and engaging discussion group with Mike as he shares his thoughts and insights on the American market.
Spaces will be limited, and like our event with Sandy Bragg in 2016, we are anticipating this event to be very popular with our members. We ask any members interested in attending this event to email sue.westwood@euroirp.com to secure their place.
Mike Mayhew will be moderating the morning panel “The Research Product – how will it change and what are the consequences?” at the Substantive Research Conference, on Tuesday 13 November. Chris Deavin, Chairman Euro IRP, will take part in this panel discussion representing the views of the association. We very much look forward to seeing our members at our conference stand. We hope all our members traveling to the UK for the conference, will be able to join us at this very special member event with Integrity Research the day before.

Euro IRP Announcement - CSFI Publication
2017-10-23 08:00
We are delighted to announce the new CSFI report on the future for investment research will be published on Monday 23rd October.
We have commissioned this third special report – undertaken by an independent body with the stature of CSFI – to examine the challenges facing IRPs, the buy-side, and the sell-side, under the far-reaching changes adopted under MiFID II. This new report follows on from the two prior CSFI reports – “Has Independent Research come of Age?” in 2011 and “Because they’re worth it?” in 2012.
As discussed at our AGM, the imminent onset of MiFID II makes this exactly the right time for this new report, creating potential to further raise the profile both of independent research and of Euro IRP, with both the media and the regulators.
The report has been authored by Jane Fuller, former Financial Editor of the Financial Times, and we are very grateful to Jane for her time to speak to our members, at a special breakfast briefing, on Wednesday 18 October in an exclusive preview to the report.
Following the report’s publication, CSFI will host a Report Launch Event with Panel Discussion on Tuesday 24 October at The London Capital Club. We look forward to welcoming our members to this special evening, as well as CSFI members and supporters, press and media.
All members will receive invitations to both these events together with three complimentary copies of the report next week. Further details will be sent by our Membership Secretary, Susan Westwood, tomorrow.
