Unbundling Uncovered London 2026

Unbundling Uncovered comes to the Institute of Directors on Wednesday 4 November, the London leg of Substantive Research's annual conference series. It's a full day, running from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm, and it brings together leaders from the investment research industry to hash out the future of research procurement.

This isn't the first stop of the year. The London session follows the 2026 New York edition, which took place on 11 June at the Metropolitan Club. That one drew more than 450 North American industry figures and ran panels on AI's implications for buy- and sell-side research relationships, the integration of research and data in investment workflows and budgets, and whether Europe is likely to align with American research funding models. The London chapter reunites the European investment research industry around its own front-of-mind issues, including CSAs in Europe, Corporate Access and AI in research.

So, while the New York session looked at the North American landscape, the London day focuses on the specific pressures and debates facing the European side of the industry. If you're in the research world, these are the things that actually land on your desk: how CSAs are playing out across Europe, the role of Corporate Access, and where AI fits into the research process. It's a chance to hear how other firms are handling the same shifts you're seeing.

Tickets start from £1,500 plus fees, and the day runs from 8:30 am to 6:30 pm at the Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5ED.
