Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Exposure in Aluminium stocks has moved higher over the last 12-months.  Just over a fifth of the EM funds in our analysis now have exposure to the Aluminium industry group, up from 7.7% in June of last year.  However, at just 0.12% average weight, exposure levels are far from convincing.Ten stocks make up the Emerging Markets Aluminium Industry group, led by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-hongqiao-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1909:1" rel="noopener">China Hongqiao (1378 HK)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/aluminum-corporation-of-china-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6884:1" rel="noopener">Aluminum Corporation Of China (2600 HK)</a>, held by 10.8% and 5.2% of managers respectively.The image of Aluminium from an ESG perspective doesn't appear to be a major issue and hasn't deterred the ESG focused strategies in our analysis from investing.  In fact, 26.3% of ESG funds have exposure to the Aluminium Industry compared to 19% of non-ESG funds.But we can't escape the fact that across all of the stocks in the Aluminium Industry group, not one has managed to attract an investment of above 2% in any of the 250 active GEM funds in our analysis.  At this stage, active EM managers are only 'dipping their toes in', rather than risking a high conviction allocation.
