Independent Equity Research Services (IER)

In contrast with traditional equity research models, CRISIL IER is carried out by an entity that does not have a transactional interest in the stock that is being researched. CRISIL IER also differs from conventional research in not making 'buy', 'hold', or 'sell' recommendations, and instead offers an opinion on the company's fundamentals and valuation. The advent of IER makes for a new paradigm in the Indian equity market, empowering individual investors to make better-informed investment decisions backed by high-quality research from India's leading research house.
