Dutton’s research includes comprehensive reports and timely research notes. This research product was created to better service the investment needs and objectives of their institutional and retail clients worldwide.

Recognizing Opportunity

Dutton Associates is one of the largest issuer-paid equity research firms in the United States and their investment performance is ranked comparable to that of the top Wall Street firms. Their analysts are primarily CFA’s with a history of over 20 years of experience at major securities firms and are among the most experienced on Wall Street. They offer high-quality, independent, fundamental research on small cap public companies. They recognize independent investment research as an opportunity for both companies and investors, because the traditional avenues of gaining research coverage are diminishing for small-cap companies.
