===Research and benefits [[broker]]s provide to [[investment manager]] clients=== | |||
Leaving aside the terribly [[tedious]] topic of research unbundling for a moment (I know — can you bear to?) a broker giving discounts and free research to an investment manager for whom it is accepting orders does not breaching the rule on inducements because the investment manager is its client. The investment manager’s clients are not, so there is no third party action here, at least not from the [[broker/dealer]]’s perspective. | |||
But the [[investment manager]] in turn has its own inducement rules (see {{cobsprov|2.3A.15}}), which make it clear that the [[investment manager]] must pass all the inducements on to its clients unless they are “acceptable minor non-monetary benefits” or third party research which is provided in accordance with the terribly tedious unbundling rules in COBS 2.3B. | |||
