Asia Etrading Opinion Poll:How do you price research under the FCA commission dealing rules?

This poll isn’t specific to Asia but has global implications. The UK’s regulator the FCA is attempting to ensure that buy-sides are spending client commission on research and corporate access reasonably but how do you do that? What are the extra-territoriality implications for UK-based with offices overseas? What is good research and what is bad? Do you pay first in first out? We thought this would be a good poll for the industry to mull over.
