Public equities - proprietary research for the individual
When working at a HF or AM firm, you likely have the ear of those you contact - suppliers, customers of the company, management, etc.
When working individually, however, it seems that it will be more difficult to attract attention. Trade shows are probably still an option. But what about other methods of proprietary research? Any tips on best methods to find information, perform due diligence, etc.?
Any information is appreciated.
