How CutterResearch works with Systems and Solution Providers
CutterResearch is commissioned by 180 member firms to conduct detailed research on 10 member selected topics each year. The findings are presented at 6 research meetings in NYC, London and Boston. In addition, CutterResearch hosts 25 bi-weekly webcasts or member discussions (CutterCasts) that focus on specific investment management systems and operational issues.
