Introduction
Chicago Research Partners is a privately
held service provider of financial analytics and investment
banking research. Our research desks are located
in Bangalore and New Delhi, India, which provides our clients
a significant cost advantage, allows for more efficient use of
existing and expensive
in-house talent, and provides faster research results because
of our time zone advantage. Our organization is centered around 2
guiding principles: accurate, quality
work, and a complete focus on our clients.
Accuracy
All of our analytic and research work endures 3 rounds of
quality and accuracy checks before being delivered to our
clients. In addition to each
project's complete audit, we source, note, highlight, and
return to the client all documentation that supported our
research.
Client Focus
Our research approach is one of flexibility, as we aim to be a
customized and integrated asset to our clients. CRP clients
are supported by dedicated
individuals and teams which facilitates a consistent exchange
with research requests and feedback. In short, bankers
have available to them
the same person or team, every time. This approach, we have
found, accomplishes a number of things: it maintains the continuity
of a project, makes the
quality of the work auditable and a reflection on identifiable
individuals, and frees bankers from constant methodology
re-training.
To that end, client teams are structured to support our 24
hour operation. At all times, bankers can reach either their
primary analyst or a back-up
analyst that is kept trained and apprised of a clients work
expectations. During the critical time of deal closings,
primary analysts can be made
available around the clock for any last minute research work.
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure
In order to be a seamless and integrated member of our client's
research team, we understand and take very seriously the
sensitive nature of our
work and the privacy of our clients. We follow industry best
practices, subject ourselves to regular audits, and engage in
relentless training and
oversight in the areas of
compliance, confidentiality and non-disclosure.
On a proactive level, we withhold all client names from our
projects, maintain
secure rooms with access limited to a client's dedicated team,
and keep detailed records of project involvement. At a clients
request, projects can
be split between offices in separate cities and among analysts
that have no contact with each other. Such deal research
splitting can be managed and
co-ordinated by one CRP executive or can be handled directly by
the client.
