Research Outline

Investor Subscription Models

Goals

Provide a list of entities that provide premium investor research and expertise in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe, to better understand the pricing, offerings, and the competitive landscape for investor research subscription models. The overarching objective is to get a feel of the pricing and offerings (newsletters, events, conferences, analyst reports, free trading accounts, access to leading analysts, etc) tied to tiered subscriptions. Examples of these entities include Rosenberg Research: 2 tiers ($1200 and $3000) and Mauldin Economics. For each entity/organization, provide:
  • The pricing model, and offering tied to the pricing model. For example, if an entity has three tiers/plans, including free, silver and gold, provide the pricing for the for silver and gold and what's included in all three subscriptions.
  • Links to each entity's website and offerings/plans.
  • If available, the number of subscribers and how long the entity has been delivering its subscription program.
