About Us
Moneyfacts Research Foundation has been set up to widen research and knowledge of Interest rates – their use and effects.
Moneyfacts Research Foundation’s Objects are:
- To advance by all available means the education, research and understanding of economics and, in particular, interest rates, their use and purpose and their economic, monetary and domestic objectives and consequences

The Foundation is supported by Moneyfacts Group plc, the UK’s leading provider of retail financial product data which has been pioneering financial comparison technology for over 35 years.
