Rodman & Renshaw Research is a research firm. The firm researches on companies in the life sciences, technology, medical devices, cleantech, banking, industrial services, and metals and mining industries. It prefers to research on companies based in United States. The firm provides research services to institutional investor clients. Rodman & Renshaw Research is based in New York, New York. The firm is a division of Direct Markets Holdings Corp.
The sectors that Rodman & Renshaw channel for investors is high risk in my opinion, but perhaps we are a gem that will defy this?
