The China STAR market (or the Science and Technology Innovation Board, or China's reply to the NASDAQ) started trading on 22 July 2019 with 25 stocks listed. Currently, there are 123 stocks listed on the STAR Board.

Turnover has picked up over the last few months as the market moves higher and tries to reach the highs that it did in August 2019.
To celebrate its first anniversary, there have been a number of announcements made on inclusion eligibility of STAR Board stocks in the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite index, potential inclusion of STAR Board stocks in the Stock Connect program, and the launch of the STAR 50 index. Put together, this should increase the visibility of the stocks listed on the STAR Board by improving accessibility and bringing passive index flow in to the market.

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.
