The investment research market is broken. Investment research is standardized, redundant, and inefficiently distributed. Research consumers cannot sift through the generic research pushed to them, nor can they efficiently gain direct access to the best experts they need to make informed investment decisions. Research producers cannot monetize their expertise, especially when packaged in undifferentiated reportage.
