Accessing aftermarket equity research reports

Imperial College Library’s subscription to S&P Capital IQ includes access to aftermarket equity research reports.  To access these reports:

  • From the top menu in S&P Capital IQ, select the Research tab
  • Once in the Investment Research section, in the filters, choose Product Type = "Aftermarket Research - Standard", then refine by company, analyst, keyword, date, etc.
  • Before downloading a report, use the Preview function to view the table of contents and search Keyword Mentions to check that your area of interest is covered; this will help to maximise your access.

N.B.: Individual users are limited to 20 reports per month, and 50 per year.
