'Writing Securities Research: A Best Practice Guide' is a practical guide to help global and local investment banks and securities houses publish their securities research in a compliant way. The book covers the broad principles involved in giving investment recommendations to institutional and retail clients: fairness, truthfulness, integrity, independence, transparency, accountability and consistency. A clear distinction is made between "research" and "non-research", and the different approaches and approvals required in preparing and publishing each are explained. Securities- specific issues addressed include: conflicts of interest, disclosures, insider trading, front-running, and selective distribution. These are explained through the use of actual case studies taken from around the world.
