TABB Group

__NOTOC__
TABB Group was a financial markets research and strategic advisory firm focused on capital markets. The firms research and consulting methodology, developed by founder Larry Tabb, was based on the idea that first-person knowledge obtained from market professionals is the most effective mechanism for understanding the markets. TABB Group analyzed and quantified the investing value chain from the fiduciary, investment manager, broker, exchange and custodian, as well as the operations that support them.
On Friday, March 13, 2020, Tabb Group’s board of directors announced it had decided to wind down the firm, effective immediately. The announcement cited "dramatic and profound changes in the research business" over several years exacerbated by the shutting down of industry events and conferences in March 2020 because of the novel Coronavirus.
