A research note written by a 15-year-old, who was not born when former UK chancellor Nigel Lawson dismissed London analysts as “teenage scribblers”, has become the talk of middle-aged media executives and investors, the FT reported. Morgan Stanley’s European media analysts asked Matthew Robson, one of the bank’s interns, to describe his friends’ media habits. His report proved to be “one of the clearest and most thought-provoking insights we have seen,” said Edward Hill-Wood, head of the team, who estimated that the note had generated five or six times more feedback than the team’s usual reports.
