What Greenwich Associates does

Coalition Greenwich, formerly Greenwich Associates, is a research and benchmarking firm serving the institutional financial services industry. Owned by Crisil Limited, which is majority-owned by S&P Global Inc., the firm is operated through wholly-owned entities including CRISIL IREVNA US LLC, Crisil Irevna UK Limited, Coalition Development Limited, and Greenwich Associates UK Limited. It provides proprietary benchmarking, analytics, and market intelligence to commercial and corporate banks, asset managers, corporate investment banks and dealers, corporates, asset owners, fintech companies and exchanges, and wealth managers across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South Asia, and Oceania.

The core product suite spans four pillars — Benchmarks (Competitor Analytics, Cost and Capital Analytics, Explorer, Commercial Loan Analytics, Digital Transformation, Wealth Management Analytics), Analyst Advisory and Market Trends (Market Structure & Technology subscription, ACCESS for Asset Managers), Client Analytics (Client Intelligence, Prospect Match), and ESG Analytics — alongside Marketing Services (Branding Assessment, Content Marketing, Coalition Greenwich Awards). Underlying technology rests on a proprietary research methodology and an extensive contact database built across 40+ years of institutional financial services research, supported by products such as the Coalition Index, OEMS Vendor Benchmarking, and Greenwich MarketView.

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue (research subscriptions, Greenwich Exchange annual memberships), multi-year consulting contracts, and professional services engagements (branding assessment, content marketing). Distribution is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise, delivered through the Greenwich Exchange membership program (where senior decision-makers participate in annual research in exchange for peer-based insights) and direct client consulting engagements. Geographic execution is supported by offices in London (headquarters), Stamford, New York, Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney, and Mumbai.
