Financial Services Research

Financial services firms have many and exacting research requirements with enormous stakes riding on the results. Integreon offers a wide range of services that meet the breadth of stringent requirements from fourth-decimal-place accuracy to 24×7 global support, which is why nine of the top 10 global investment banks use Integreon’s financial research services.

Our team members have experience in global investment banks (e.g., JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs) and research firms (e.g., Standard & Poor, Dun & Bradstreet). Integreon investment analysts are qualified MBAs, CFAs or Chartered Accountants. Many have spent significant time training and working onshore with their banking colleagues to truly understand the critical nature of these research assignments. Integreon analysts are experts in researching U.S. public companies, as well as those from Europe, Asia and other regions. They have deep knowledge of accounting specifics across multiple industries.

Integreon analysts have the same background and training as their clients’ analysts, and have access to the same resources. We source historical and projected financials from public filings and other reputable equity sources and use them to provide fast and accurate turnaround for high volumes of financial research, freeing up client associates to pursue higher-level core functions. We also build sector models for individual companies using historical and projected data to generate P/E, EBIT, EBITDA, cash flow multiples, and discounted cash flow (DCF) and leveraged buy out (LBO) models.
