Freshfields has added research veterans to its board a week after an initial round of fundraising from a unit of data giant Euclid Opportunities . The platform was created to allow fund managers and asset managers to exchange data as looming Mifid II regulations force the unbundling of banks' research activities. It enables asset managers to use, purchase and monitor research, while tracking firm-wide consumption. At the same time, the RSRCHX platform enables research providers to take greater control over distribution and monetise the value of their research, while evidencing full compliance with MiFID II unbundling requirements and benefitting from access to a growing community of global buy-side firms. The appointments are Adam Toms , CEO of agency broker Instinet Europe , Don Guiney , senior capital markets partner at Freshfields , Michael McFadgen , managing director at Euclid Opportunities and Don Guiney , former head of international equity research at RSRCHXchange and head of global research at NEX .
