The Buyside Desk is a research publication for investors, advisors and analysts (i.e. people who like to read the footnotes)
The publication will have three pillars
Equity Research on interesting special situations. Published when a situation justifies the work rather than on a fixed schedule that demands output quality trade-offs
M&A research and insights. Based on our proprietary M&A data set covering >1 million M&A transactions globally over the last 15 years, combined with insights and synthesis from public sources. Will be of interest to those doing M&A target origination, advisory and special situation investing (“M&A arbitrage”)
IPO research and insights. Mirroring our M&A coverage, but focused on IPOs and identifying special situations for investors
Our goal is to build out free content, but support from paid subscriptions is what helps keep The Buyside Desk going.
