"I get information from other sources - I don't need REFS"

REFS is unique because it brings together all the relevant investment information on a company and presents it as a whole. But there's more to the process than simply reproducing information. Using only prime sources, our dedicated team of analysts collate and analyse all the information relating to a particular company and are uniquely placed to ensure the overview makes sense.

Trying to get an overview of a company by using information from disparate sources could be unreliable. You cannot be sure that a consistent method of analysis has been applied throughout. With REFS you have a guarantee of consistency and reliability.
