Market research - UK Equity Income

At Elston Consulting, we design investment solutions delivered as portfolios, funds and indices for our financial adviser, investment manager and fund provider clients. In the same way that advisers need to think about their target market of retail customers, we as a co-manufacturer need to think about our target market of UK financial advisers. Target market research and testing forms an important part of our solutions design process to ensure what we develop is helpful to UK advisers and solves a client need and can be clearly communicated. Thank you to those advisers that are participating in our market research surveys. It might give a clue as to what is currently in the laboratory!
