IRF was founded in 2016 to offer Investors access to the widest range of high-quality and differentiated Independent Research and Alternative Data Providers.

IRF is the fastest growing financial intermediary business in the investment research marketplace.

Increasingly investors are recognising the case for Independent Providers as being non-conflicted, highly specialised, tightly distributed, and alpha focused compared to the traditional sell-side banking model.

In aggregate, IRF Providers cover all the major asset classes, utilise various methodologies, specialise in sector and stock research, and produce investment recommendations.
