Is equity reach dead? If not, in what form does it live?

Pundits have been calling the time of death on equity research for years. It does seem a lot of the compensation for ER has collapsed, but thematic and sector research continues to thrive. What do you lot think?

I only penned a bit of ER when on limited engagement. It’s a super interesting field though. Thoughts?
