Castine Conversations
We come across hundreds of interesting people and firms in the different projects that we undertake in the commission management and research management space. We thought others would be as fascinated as we are with them.
This podcast introduces us to business leaders, entrepreneurs, and businesses around the globe who have special interest in commission management (aka CSAs and soft dollars), broker/producer compensation, research services (including full RMS, research discovery, compliance, budgeting, and payments thereof). Each person is unique in their background and offers their advice on getting started and how their business operates and grows. We hope you enjoy it!
Castine works with over 50 brokers, 500+ asset managers, and 2000+ research providers with its solution suites. We have clients globally and support them with teams in London, Lisbon, Paris, New Jersey (USA), and Buenos Aires. Our solutions are cloud-based and are used by institutional and retail brokers, investment managers, research providers, and hedge funds worldwide.
