Themes, not stocks

Whereas most investment banking equity research analysts identify winners and losers in the stock market by studying stocks in detail, we do the same thing by studying themes in detail.

We have developed an algorithm-based “thematic engine” that identifies, assesses and nets off all major themes driving a stock in order to identify the most profitable investment opportunities in the global TMT space.

Themes drive success or failure

We help consultants come up with a turnaround strategy for declining companies by helping them understand how themes impact the future success – or failure – of their clients’ businesses.

Consultancy Firms

Our thematic screens help consultants identify strategic options to management by highlighting three things:

  • Which themes they should invest in, and why
  • What the competition is doing in these themes
  • Which companies they could acquire to gain exposure to these themes
