Guidepoint Global is a primary research firm, and our Clients are primarily Asset Management Firms and Private Equity firms. We do compete directly with Gerson Lehrman Group. Our competitive differentiation is driven by our sector-focused research approach, rigorous Advisor vetting, rich compliance and audit trail, and our strategically recruited network of industry Advisors.

Guidepoint became one of the two largest firms in our space after acquiring Vista Research from Standard & Poor's in 2003. To learn more about our business and careers please visit our website at www.guidepointglobal.com and at www.guidepointglobal.com/careeers.html.
