  • Joshua Maxey, managing director of Third Bridge, an independent research provider, described the FCA’s conclusions as “troublesome” and “very short-sighted”.

    “I would encourage the FCA to further scrutinise the so-called ‘peppercorn pricing’ many larger sellside houses are deploying, where they are charging nominal fees for research and dumping the costs in other services,” said Mr Maxey. “This is putting unequal pressure on the independent research firms who cannot compete with those economics, and in turn is reducing the overall quality of research available to investors.”

  • The news from UBS this week is something I expect to see continue in large investment banks, particularly in equity trading and research. The regulatory environment and push for transparency in research costs with MiFID II have led to the buy-side reevaluating their research needs, which has further exposed the oversupply of sell-side research in the industry. This market correction has been on the horizon for a while and long overdue.

  • The costs of research packages offered by some of the big banks are totally out of whack with pricing elsewhere in the market.
