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

Lucror Analytics - Morning Views Asia - 02 May 2019

We noted in February that the proverbial can was being kicked down the road on a number of major issues. Unfortunately, this trend continued in April, with a decision on Brexit being delayed by up to six months after the UK Parliament decided (with a one-vote margin) to extend the date for a hard exit. The other major issues still up in the air are the US-Sino trade war, the Fed’s rate policy and deleveraging in China. Interestingly, this has done little to impact investor sentiment, with the S&amp;P 500 hitting a new high during the month and Asian HY returns continuing to be positive.
