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.

Technical Analysis

Our base case continues to be for near-term consolidation while the market determines the implications of states’ reopening (i.e., the “wait-and-see” phase). Until this consolidation period resolves below support or above resistance we are maintaining a relatively neutral stance considering the wide range of outcomes. Many major indexes are testing logical resistance and until we see breakouts it is hard to get too bullish. In this report we highlight attractive stocks from a RS perspective.

Boutique absolute return fund manager

KIS Capital Partners

KIS Capital Partners is a boutique absolute return fund manager based in Sydney, Australia with an Asia ex Japan trading focus. We believe that an absolute return fund should be risk and performance focused with strong attention to investment differentiation. Absolute return funds should not be asset gatherers. We invest alongside our clients in liquid and transparent markets with a focus on pragmatic and vigilant risk management.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

At KIS capital we try to keep ourselves at the forefront of technology and innovation, attempting to identify which industries may blossom, and which may be disrupted. In the middle of 2016, KIS Research published its in-depth report on Autonomous Vehicles. That paper proved to be well ahead of the curve, with autonomous cars and electric vehicles becoming an important investment theme over the last year. To follow up the success of that report, we have released this one, focusing on a new topic: human longevity. We see human longevity as a huge new investment theme. Whilst its impact on the healthcare system alone will be enormous, we expect its ripples to extend further, washing into the broader economy. Human longevity will create a more productive working age population, extend the retirement age, create new consumer spending patterns amongst the elderly, cause a revamp of the superannuation system, increase unfunded pension liabilities, change life and health insurance premiums, and even alter the way in which fiscal policy is managed, to name a few. In this report we will explore the burgeoning technologies that are seeking to extend healthy life well north of 100 years (NB: there is a section on life hacks that you can be doing today to increase your longevity). If this investment theme is of further interest to you, get in touch with us!
