Visible Alpha, a research platform provider, is planning to employ an email filter to block unsolicited research. The move is being made with the incoming Mifid II regulations in mind. Both tools are intended to help firms with their MiFID II compliance, which will force firms to unbundle research and execution costs and stop research being used by brokers as an inducement to gain execution business. “Research should be free and open for all researchers regardless of their country or location,” said Dr. Michael J. O’Leary, CEO of Visible Alpha. Visible Alpha is also implementing a budgeting tool on its research platform, which will allow clients to better manage and allocate costs to comply with the incoming regulations.
