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

While Tech continues to plot higher, still mocking reversion-to-the-mean forces, sector leadership is broadening into value segments. Two stand out: Energy and Materials. Both exhibit timely technicals, and we expect both to yield relative outperformance in 2018. Overweight. In today’s report we highlight actionable names within global the Energy and Materials sectors.

Emerging Markets: Technical Strategy & Reccommendations

Doing bespoke work since 2002....., Custom Products Group

Doing bespoke work since 2002.....

Custom Products Group

Custom Products was started 14 years ago at Lehman Brothers by current co-founder Patrick Hansen, CFA. After 3 years at Lehman, Patrick moved the team to Macquarie Securities where Simon Rigney (co-founder) joined. 3 years ago we took Custom Products independent. 

Our core strength can be summed up three words. 1- Customization - we have very little off the shelf products and most work is done on a one on one bespoke basis. 2- Speed - We pride ourselves in our ability to get requests back to the client very quickly. 3- Confidentiality - We do not redistribute. There is no grace period where we wait a week and then mass blast. Any request stops with that client.

It is always fun to see which names outperform or underperform running up to the year end. We looked for names that have consistently done well in December or have consistently underperformed in December.We first looked at the large-cap space (mkt-cap greater than 1.5bn USD). We screened for names with average and median performance in December greater than 4% with a greater than 80% success rate over the last 15 years. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/10740" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:10740:1">Nan Ya Plastics Corp (1303 TT)</a> is the largest names to make the list.
