Market information,
independently acquired
We develop our own macro-economic and currency allocation models, using research we buy from specialist, independent research organisations.

Most institutions support large research and analysis departments that provide macro-economic insight and investment guidance across the organisation. Much of this material is made available for third parties to purchase so that they in turn can add further depth and perspective to the advice they give to clients. Of course, having this understanding is essential to an effective investment process, but the emphasis should always be on generating accurate and timely market knowledge rather than a drive for volume in brokerage. Our research department doesn’t output analysis, and nor do we purchase research undertaken by other financial institutions. Instead we develop our own macro-economic and currency allocation models, using research we buy from specialist, independent research organisations. By deriving our market and economic source data from companies that have no brokerage models of their own, we avoid any possibility of working with potentially conflicted information, and so place well grounded, absolutely independent market intelligence at the heart of our asset allocation process.
