===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.
