Private equity firms, banks, brokers, insurance companies and other financial institutions have a lot to gain from LAC Group’s research & intelligence services.
You may be skeptical of that claim, thinking nobody knows research better than the financial industry. Yet there’s a diverse realm of vital information and current awareness that you’re likely missing out on—legal and regulatory matters, market and competitive intelligence, media intelligence, intellectual property and other topics.
LAC Group can help you bridge and fill any of your knowledge gaps, maximizing the data and information you do have, while making the most of your budgets and resources.
Delivering value from day one
Our managed service model and experienced teams begin delivering value from day one by empowering you to:

Lacking skilled information professionals with hands-on knowledge of collecting, analyzing and applying information for business gain is no longer an obstacle. We can be your just-in-time resource to meet surging demand for intelligence and analytics, helping decision-makers identify patterns, understand connections and resolve issues.

Leverage market and competitive intelligence
Our researchers and analysts will find, assess and deliver the most relevant and actionable intelligence you need to track competitors, clients, markets, individuals and anything else. If we don’t have the subject matter expertise you need, we’re positioned to get it for you, alleviating your search and recruit burden. Pick a topic, any topic, including:
- Retail banking, insurance offerings and other financial service trends
- Emerging payment, mobile banking and other fintech developments and disruptions
- Islamic finance and other foreign and niche markets

Briefings and reports can be customized to reflect any demand-driven developments that frame risk and opportunity. The headwinds facing the banking and financial industry are getting stronger: financial technology start-ups, stiffer regulations and market expectations to name the top three. LAC Group will buffer those forces with services and skills to help you achieve and maintain your own competitive advantage.
