In the process of designing asset allocations, Piscataqua Research developed a proprietary database of retirement information for corporations. That database is now managed by Futuremetrics. Over the years, our research has been featured in articles in such magazines as CFO and Pension and Investments Age.

Our research is now published at our leisure and is more a labor of love than a labor of profit. Feel free to access our research and to contact us about it. For paid research, we consult in conjunction with FutureMetrics.

Our most recent research piece is attached. It is a review of FASB 87 balance sheet accounting and shows how corporations might have identified new ways to manipulate this accounting rule. FAS 87 appears to erroneously allow corporations to consolidate related entities in a way that assets are counted twice.
