"A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world" - John le Carré

Our collaborative approach to producing original, bottoms-up, investment research on the key themes that will deliver change.

What We Do

Above all, we instill clarity by analyzing the key thematics bringing change to the world around us.

We believe rigorous analysis and first principles thinking, paired with honest debate and the search for universal ‘truths’, is the best recipe for intellectually honest, actionable ideas.

Our timeframe is measured in months and years, not days or weeks. We believe that, in a world with an overabundance of information, being selective about what we consume is the first step to becoming better investors. For this reason we selectively focus our attention on the key themes that will drive seismic shifts within Markets, Business, and Geopolitics over the coming decade.

Everything else, we'll leave to others sitting at their desks.

"Highly recommend, superbly written and uniquely rational in a world that favours tribalism. The kind of macro and geopolitics research that looks at both sides of the story before coming to conclusions."
