They mean \"blue sky\" (securities market), I guess, and fundamental research of it. Just the whole paragraph can clarify everything. Lack of context, as usual. (My best guess). Just kidding, of course.

investigación conceptual


Explanation:
"Blue sky thinking/research" se refiere a la investigación a menudo realizada por personas no especialistas en los temas que tratan.
La idea es que las personas expertas, perdidas en los detalles, a menudo resultan "encorsetadas" dentro de su especialidad.
Guarda cierta relación con los famosos "pensadores del MIT", pagadas enormes cantidades de dinero para "pensar libremente" - a menudo sin producir resultado alguno.
One of the key leverage points is Deming's precept to "drive out fear". It's also vitally important, as exemplified by 3M, to provide employees with both the time and resources to engage in some 'Blue Sky' projects which are unrelated to their regular work.
If you've ever had an idea you thought was fantastic, chances are good it was triggered by fantasy - an unrestrained supposition, a free form conceptualizing of whimsical mental images. Call it "blue sky" thinking if you like. Call it "getting out of the box." But whatever you call it, it's an extremely powerful way to tap into an entirely new dimension of possibility

With "delivery, delivery, delivery" the new mantra of the age, thinktankers - more inclined to "blue sky thinking" are increasingly engaging with the details of how to put ideas into practice."

Muchas veces su usa como simple sinónimo de "brainstorming"

No he explicado el motivo de la sugerencia - se llama investigación o pensamiento conceptual porque la persona o el equipo tratan la cuestión en su vertiente conceptual - lejos de los detalles y las trabas impuestas a otros. Como decía al principio, a menudo no son expertos en la materia.
El último \"blue sky thinker\" de Tony Blair, por ejemplo, está ahora encargado de ofrecer ideas para solucionar los problemas del transporte en el Reino Unido. Su último \"trabajo\" era como director general de la BBC!!

Hay una coma después de "blue sky"


Explanation:
Por eso pienso que se trata de una aposición:

Debemos recalcar la importancia del "proceso por el cual se determina si una emisión de títulos reúne los requisitos de distribución impuestos en los lugares donde será vendida", ya que se trata de una averiguación fundamental para la creación de...

(El encomillado corresponde a la definición de Blue Sky contenida en el Dic. Bursátil Puga-Oriolo).
