JGFR is a well- established research business, based in Wimbledon, specialising in financial and business research. It provides regular commentary and analysis on consumers attitudes and financial behaviour as well as undertaking client specific studies and reports. In July 2007 JGFR entered into a partnership agreement with Compeer Ltd, a specialist in benchmarking, competitor analysis and research in the wealth management sector. The agreement will provide for the joint marketing of services, co-operation on bespoke research and the development of new products.

Our aim is twofold:

to provide continuous tracking reports of the UK consumer through the monthly Consumer Confidence Monitor and the quarterly Financial Activity Bulletin. Increasingly CEOs highlight the relevance of consumer confidence to their business performance. It is where the Boardroom and market research meet. Understanding consumer priorities and what consumers want and need is essential for commercial success.
to fill client information and knowledge gaps through ‘off the peg’ financial research and by undertaking specially commissioned research-based reports and assignments in the UK and abroad. In the area of wealth research we also work closely with Tulip Financial Research.
