 The Alliance
in Support of Independent Research is a group of broker-dealers who
furnish independent research and other support services to investment
managers. Members of the Alliance share a common interest in fostering
a favorable regulatory environment in which research services and
products may be furnished to the money management community, and in
preserving the umbrella of protection Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 provides to fiduciaries who receive all forms
of investment research. A primary goal of the Alliance is to promote
the observance of proper standards under the securities laws for disseminating
research and achieving best execution of portfolio transactions for
managed accounts. We believe our members are involved in a significant
portion of the arrangements under which fiduciaries such as mutual
funds, investment advisers, banks and other money managers are provided
with research services and products for the benefit of their managed
accounts. |
