FUSE Research Network is on the Move

February 10, 2011, Needham, MA – To accommodate its growing business, FUSE Research Network (FUSE) has moved to new office space. The new offices are located at 200 Highland Avenue, Suite 402, Needham, MA 02494.

FUSE, which offers decision support to asset management firms, has seen increased demand for its services as investment firms focus on improving the productivity and effectiveness of their sales, marketing and product management groups. Given its ability to provide clients with immediate answers to critical business issues, FUSE is building its client base at a remarkable pace as traditional data and study providers have failed to evolve.

"Asset managers understand they can't rely on the market's recovery to return their businesses to pre-crisis levels, and are in search of ways to increase margins through more efficient deployment of resources," said T. Neil Bathon, founder of FUSE. "This changing mentality has increased the need for objective, candid and tangible guidance – and that is what FUSE delivers."

To support the growing needs of its clients, FUSE plans to increase staff in 2011. Among the support roles that FUSE seeks to fill are research analysts and content developers.

"The new space affords us the opportunity to increase our staffing in order to accommodate our client growth. Superior client service is of paramount importance to FUSE and it sits at the foundation of our offering," noted Michael Evans, President of FUSE.

FUSE addresses the needs of asset managers from several perspectives, including:

Competitive analyses that allow firms to compare themselves against their most similar peers

Concise reports that assess product and distribution trends and provide tactical advice for addressing timely issues

Benchmarking studies that examine functional areas, from product management to marketing, and identify best practices for improving productivity and efficiency

Customized projects that provide objective analysis and candid feedback on specific issues and opportunities

"We look forward to expanding in our new location, but as always we will be accessible to our clients in Boston and around the country," said Bathon.

The new contact information for FUSE personnel is:

Neil Bathon: 781-400-5345
Michael Evans: 781-400-5538
Sam Campbell: 781-400-5639

The new address is:
200 Highland Avenue, Suite 402
Needham, MA 02494
