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.

Eli Lilly's development strategy is worth learning from, which explains the investment logic of a lot of “smart money” and can also be used for reference by domestic pharmaceutical companies.
For CGT, before detail policies on how to properly commercialize CGT in China released, CXO with related R&amp;D capabilities could be a better investment option at the current stage.
The overall sleep situation of Chinese people is not optimistic, leading to the rapid development of China's sleep economy. Meanwhile, we also recommend that investors pay attention to sleep quality.
