Cross Asset Strategy

Q2 2020’s selection delivered an average return increase of 54% v’s the MSCI Asia Pacific Index 37.4% over the same period. The GARP-based screen uses a combination of growth and value metrics to identify shares where brokers are forecasting high earnings growth, but which are currently valued at a price that is low relative to their forecast outlook. Whilst Central Banks are providing additional liquidity favouring growth names, our value-based screen is key to delivering positive gains as tapering begins. Q2 2021's screen provides 16 key suggestions.  What makes the current selection interesting is the bias towards Taiwan and India on a country basis and Industrials and Healthcare on a sector basis. Also of particular note, Singapore presents one name on this screen.

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

MSCI Emerging Markets Index / Technical Analysis

Price and RS uptrends for the MSCI EM index continues to underpin our bullish outlook for emerging market equities -- remain overweight. We continue to attribute much of EM’s outperformance to the intact downtrend in the US dollar (DXY). As long as weakness in the DXY persists we believe EM’s outperformance is likely to continue.
