Research and strategy

– the heart of our business

– the heart of our business

Each month, our award-winning team of analysts spends over 20,000 hours analysing the stock and financial markets. We do this to give our clients a financial edge.

Our analysts attend around 1,000 client meetings every year, identifying trends, generating a range of investment ideas and ensuring that the research and analysis we provide to underpin these is relevant and timely. This means that you are better informed and able to act quickly to take advantage of market opportunities when they arise.

The value of knowledge 

In a competitive financial environment, clients are placing an increasing value on knowledge, insight and analysis – all of which lay the foundation for commercial and investment decisions. This is why you will find our experts at the cutting edge of our business – meeting you and providing answers to the many challenges you face.

In addition to fundamental economic research, we provide analysis for foreign exchange, fixed income and credit research within our Research and Strategy team.

Additionally, within SEB, there is a separate dedicated research team of 65 professionals specialising in equities. Our equity research offer is highly customised. If you are an expert user, you can access our raw data through your personal log-in on Research Online. This enables you to make your own analyses for your specific needs.
