Risk Research Report is released on a monthly basis and covers a broad range of risk related issues specific to the investment banking industry. Risk Research Report will be of great value to you if you:

• Have a series of specific and well-defined questions
• Need a quick turnaround of findings
• Want to keep abreast of the “hot issues” in the industry on an on-going basis

Several options for Risk Research Report annual subscription are available ranging from contracts with a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 topics commissioned by you.

Regardless of the subscription option you pick (e.g. 3, 6 or 12 topics of your choice to be researched), you will receive 12 issues of the Risk Research Report with the collection of topic commissioned by all the subscribers.

Risk Research Report Methodology

Determination of subject

Depending on the subscription option you have chosen, you will be entitled to request:

• 12 topics within a 12 months subscription period
• 6 topics within a 12 months subscription period
• 3 topics within a 12 months subscription period

For the 3 and 6 topics subscription options, you are free to submit your chosen topics whichever months you prefer (i.e. there is no requested fix schedule as long as no more than one topic per month is requested).

If you are due to request a topic, during the preceding month (generally during the third week) you will provide Lepus with the subject that you would like to be researched, along with up to 6 key sub points that you would like us to focus on. Lepus will then assign a researcher to cover this area, who will contact the relevant person within your organisation if more information is needed.

Research of subject

During the month that the Risk Research Report covers, the assigned researcher will contact the relevant people in the marketplace to research the requested subject. Lepus has over 500 people in banks who are willing to assist our researchers. The primary focus of the researchers is to find out from actual practitioners what is happening in the marketplace rather than rely on information from the Web.

Final deliverable

Normally on the third Monday, you will receive two documents – the Risk Research Report itself along with the associated Management Summary. There you will find the results of the topic that you requested along with what the other subscribers have commissioned. If you were not due to submit a topic that month you will still receive a copy of the Risk Research Report and the associated Management Summary incorporating the research topics requested by the other subscribers. This will give you an insight into the ‘hot areas’ in the marketplace that your peer banks are currently reviewing. You are able to distribute the Risk Research Report on a global basis within your organisation.

Back Library of Reports

Lepus can provide you with the full back library of previous Risk Research Reports, produced every month since January 2007. These will provide you not only with market intelligence across a wide range of different topics, they will also allow you valuable insight into what has been on the agenda for other subscribers over the past 12 months.

The value of the Risk Research Report

• Applied Research – The Risk Research Report will give you a unique opportunity to submit bespoke topics specifically tailored to your needs. Rather than accumulating a lot of marginally relevant information, you will receive answers to the questions that are important to you.
• Focuses on “Hot Topics” in the market – the research we produce always centres around the current hot topics in the market. Not only will you get answers to your burning questions, you will also get to see what your peers are currently interested in exploring.
• Fast turnaround – the Risk Research Report is produced monthly and as such you are always guaranteed a very quick insight into the topics of your interest. You are guaranteed up-to-date information that was collected directly from actual practitioners less than a month ago.
