When our clients need decision-ready market intelligence and advice and need it now, FRC is their "first call.” These are a few of the ways that our clients have utilized our Direct Access service...
Direct Access:
Regular dialogue with FRC can help you develop and validate your firm's unique strategy. Ensure that your team is anticipating trends and evolving market demands, and not just reacting to them, with Customized Trend Updates. These periodic calls from FRC deliver new ideas and information are designed to enhance your firm’s product management, sales, and asset retention strategies.
Competitive Positioning & Benchmarking Research:
FRC is an independent research entity, with extensive contacts throughout the financial services marketplace. Our ability to quickly conduct informal competitive surveys can help to benchmark your firm's staffing levels, organizational structure, and budget issues, or simply provide insights into key industry trends. The research is often performed via telephone or Internet-based surveys, and participants are usually kept anonymous to capture greater participation levels.
Presentation Support:
FRC's clients often use their Direct Access hours to help them develop or enhance their own presentations on industry trends. FRC maintains a sizable reference library of up-to-date PowerPoint slides covering macro and micro trends in the markets that we cover, or we can create custom slides for clients based on their own unique needs.
Board of Directors Support:
FRC offers an objective and independent view of the financial services landscape. That’s one reason that we’ve been asked to present industry trends and client-specific competitive information to Boards to facilitate product launch, distribution and overall strategic direction decisions.
Sales Meetings Support:
FRC has participated in national sales meetings for some of the leading mutual fund companies. Offering updated trend analysis, asset flow information, and insight into the latest product launches, FRC can provide unique, candid commentary and address the specific concerns and issues from your product- and sales-management team.
