Data represents the foundation of what we do at Investor Economics. The vast majority of our data is derived from a number of proprietary surveys that we conduct. Our major surveys are listed below. In a number of cases, the survey data is collected on a confidential basis. We are happy to provide participants with a confidentiality letter to validate this. We invite prospective participants in our surveys to examine them in order to better understand the wide range of data we gather. Although in most cases it is our clients that participate in these systematic data gathering initiatives, it is our practice to provide all contributors with high-level feedback in exchange for participation, with no obligation to acquire our research.  PRODUCTS Mutual Funds   Regional   Optional Load   Registered vs. Non-registered   Series Individual Segregated Funds   Regional   Load Structure/Series   Guarantees   Registered vs. Non-registered - Segmentation Payout Annuities Universal Life Insurance Fund Wraps Discretionary Brokerage   Fee-based Brokerage   In-house Managed Wraps   Separately Managed Wraps   Advisor Managed Market-linked GICs High-interest Savings Accounts Fixed-term Deposits Tax-free Savings Accounts   DELIVERY CHANNELS Branch Advice Broker Insurance Brokerage Profitability Financial Advisors Full-service Brokers Insurance Company Distribution MGA Channel Mutual Fund Distribution Channels Online/Discount Brokers Personal Trust   MANAGERS Discretionary Wraps - Pricing Institutional Money Mangers Institutional Money Mangers - Pricing Private Client Private Client - Pricing
