About Us Overview

Messels is committed to unbiased investment research without internal business conflicts such as corporate broking, proprietary trading or market making. We pride ourselves on a strong history of alpha discovery. 

Our compliance service is focused on investment businesses in two key areas about which we have a good understanding: investment research and capital introduction.
