Arete provides unbiased research on over 100 stocks globally, which we believe is differentiated from the rest of the market for three main reasons:
Free From Conflicts of Interest
In-Depth Global Research
Fearlessly Calling Shorts
Conflict Free
Our work is free of conflicts of interest (with no banking or prop trading business) and as a matter of principle, Arete is never paid by companies we analyse. We believe deeply that high quality independent research is vital for effective capital markets, and are committed to bringing our clients actionable ideas around key investment themes and trends.
xGlobal Research
We do in-depth global research, seeing or speaking with over 100 companies a month as part of our extensive fieldwork. We look at industry structures and try to identify losers as well as winners. We are not operating in regional silos, but start by looking at sectors, then stocks trading in multiple markets. We have offices in the US, Europe and Asia, and regularly travel to see companies.
xCalling Shorts
We have a track record of fearlessly calling Shorts; in a relentlessly promotional market where the vast majority of stocks are rated as “Buys” we have repeatedly made effective Sell calls, based on deep analysis of technologies, sector dynamics and company accounting. Avoiding blow-ups is as/more important than being another “supportive” voice on consensus longs.
xOver nearly 20 years, we have repeatedly been told that “no one will pay for research” or that “we would be better off just writing positive things about companies.” Our thriving business is a testament to the support of our clients and the hard work of our staff to make a business model succeed in the face of fierce competition from the largest banks. We believe we earned the respect of the companies we cover via the quality of our work. We aim for nothing less than the best research product in the market, with fiercely independent views helping clients in the investment process.
