Research Perspective
The EBS Research Perspective is a publication which is put out less frequently than the Market Commentary, typically 2-4 times per year. The Research Perspective is designed to be more timeless in nature, and it is written by a member of the Research Group. Research Perspectives are usually 4-10 pages in length and are very detailed.

Founders and their families often have built their businesses with good old fashioned blood, sweat and tears. As a result of this, they tend to invest and spend company money like it is their own, focusing on the growth of their personal balance sheet and not the income statement. Importantly, such firms typically have a longer-term outlook which allows for better business investment decisions.
