AnalystClix: Forthcoming analyst publications: Sample Apr-Jun 2009
Focus on... Tower Group
TowerGroup is a research and advisory services firm focused exclusively on the global financial services industry. Company analysts provide advice and continuous intelligence about business and technological issues that impact this key sector.
TowerGroup is a wholly owned subsidiary of MasterCard Worldwide and operates as a separate business entity with independence.
Clearly, it is not only the financial services’ industry that is in currently in turmoil; suppliers to this key market are too. In an economic downturn when budgets are tight, vendors might be tempted to cull the purchase of analyst intelligence. But it could be argued that, in the current climate, market intelligence is needed more. Thus information provided by TowerGroup analysts could aid strategic planning in the short and long term for vendors. Survival could depend on it.
