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

We remain constructive overall and continue to believe that global equities (MSCI ACWI) are going through a bottoming process. Opportunities exist but Sector leadership is mixed.  In our February International Strategy document, we explore various themes which lead to our overall constructive outlook, as well as a technical appraisal of each Sector and the investable opportunities therein.

Since autumn of 2014, the HK-Shanghai Connect, and later the HK-Shenzhen Connect mechanisms have provided means for mainland investors to buy Hong Kong-listed stocks. We have been tracking the H/A relationships and the Southbound flows per name on a weekly basis and occasionally writing commentary about it since late 2016. This report provides a brief synopsis of the SOUTHBOUND flows into Hong Kong-listed stocks over the course of 2018, by sector, by average percentage change in mainland ownership of HK shares outstanding subject to the Connect mechanisms, and the top and bottom five names per sector per quarter.
