Edition one

Section 01 · What we publish★ ★ ★

Four disciplines, one firm.

01

Quantitative research

★ ★ ★

Quant · Macro · Equity · Systematic

Systematic models, factor analysis, and statistical methods applied to macro and equity questions. We build models that survive contact with reality, and we publish the assumptions behind them.

02

Data analytics

★ ★ ★

Alt-data · Engineering · Infrastructure · Insights

Bespoke datasets, alternative data integration, and rigorous data engineering. We treat data as a discipline, not a byproduct.

03

Credit research

★ ★ ★

Corporate · Structured · Distressed · Sovereign

Independent fundamental views on corporate credit, structured products, and emerging risk. Long-form, opinionated, with explicit tradeoffs.

04

Financial research

★ ★ ★

Policy · Markets · Capital · Structure

Thematic work on markets, policy, and capital structure. Where we think the world is heading, and what we're betting on.

Section 02 · How we work★ ★ ★

Six principles.

Rule 01

Publish the methodology.

Conclusions without method are gossip.

Rule 02

Measure what we ship.

Track records exist or they don't.

Rule 03

Acknowledge tradeoffs.

Every model chose. We say what.

Rule 04

State the opinion.

Vague views are nobody's views.

Rule 05

Update in public.

When the data changes, so do we.

Rule 06

Partner with operators.

Floors first, models second.
