Where did Sphinx Asia come from? The founders were Wall Street and Asian Equity Market Research Analysts. Early on, they recognized a big need in the equity markets for independent research to be done on a fee only basis and not attached to any brokerage company seeking corporate finance income, consulting income, brokerage income such as IPOs or merger and acquisition (M&A) deal fees from the very companies that they might be recommending to equity clients as stock purchases.
