Research notes.

Methodology first

We publish selectively where a question benefits from a clear account of assumptions, mechanics and limitations. These notes explain aspects of our research and internal development work.

Methodology note

A balance is not a valuation

Research notes are informational. They do not constitute investment advice or describe an available investment product.

Research standard

A useful note states its limits.

Market observations can become stale quickly. Methodologies can change as better data or a more faithful interpretation of an instrument becomes available. Published work should state the question it addresses, the sources it relies on and what it cannot establish.

A reported number should not be presented as independently assured simply because a process can calculate it. The distinction between an internal method, a verified result and an investment conclusion matters.
