We are Independent
We are Impactful
We are The Analyst

We are an independent research house based in London. We deliver high impact equity research to some of the world’s leading institutional investors.

Our aim is to deliver alpha for our clients by identifying stocks that could double or halve.

Company Introduction

Research with a difference; at The Analyst we are proud of our independence. Started by buy-side analysts who wanted more space to talk about stocks, we are focused on delivering detailed analysis and impactful ideas to professional investors.

We have live coverage of an evolving list of >50 individual stocks, with a mix of long and short ideas; but we write about many more. We focus on the names that matter – stocks that we believe can make a difference to our clients, cutting through noise in an overly commoditised and conflicted research market.

Our current hunting ground is the liquid European universe. All of our ideas are independently generated by our in-house research team. Our clients have access to a full library of our content since inception which includes all notes and videos on every stock we have covered in the last decade.

What We Do

More than just a research provider. The Analyst has become a trusted partner in an industry that is swamped with conflicted research as evidenced by our long-standing relationships with some of the world’s leading institutional investors. Our buy-side experience and commitment to finding the ideas that make a difference to our clients leads us to uncover fresh insights that may challenge conventional wisdom.

We take on the responsibility of providing an independent and differentiated view.

Fiercely Independent

Our research doesn’t have a third-party agenda. We are focused on stocks. The most important thing to us, and our business model, is delivering strong research and ideas that work for our clients.

  • No outside equity interests in the business
  • No funds actively managed by the business
  • No corporate interests
  • Cross-border compliance
  • No execution function

Ideas That Make a Difference

We want to make a difference to our clients – and therefore we are constantly on the lookout for stocks that have the potential to double or halve. We want to find ideas that work, rather than researching uninteresting stocks for the sake of conflicted coverage.

  • No coverage to serve a banking agenda
  • Agility to follow new ideas
  • Independent of traditional sector lines
  • Challenging conventional wisdom

The Value of Shorts

We want to be the strongest possible advisors for our clients, and that means covering the stocks where prices go down as well as up. Short research is challenging and carries a great deal of risk as a research provider because we are questioning vested interests. We believe this makes all of our research more valuable, whilst protecting our clients.

  • Rigorously researched, you can trust that the work has been done
  • Highlighting red flags and other business risks
  • Empowering our analysts to dig in
  • Accounting and governance focus

  • Culture centred on getting it right for our clients
  • Value-added content that cuts through noise
  • Committed to delivering ideas you can trust
  • Integrity and independence

Our Clients

Institutional Investors

In a market that is increasingly commoditised and conflicted, our research provides a differentiated view.

Our focus on fundamentals and high-conviction single stock alpha gives our clients access to ideas that can have an impact.

We know what it’s like to be on the buy-side and we want to break the mould. Long or Short, our ideas can help you decorrelate your returns from the rest of the market.

Financial Advisors & Wealth Managers

With wealth preservation as a priority, sometimes even ahead of outsized returns, our offering is focused on providing our clients with an independent view to support risk protection and complement in-house process.

We do the work that many are not incentivised to do and publish independent conclusions in an industry where many participants are conflicted. Our screening products and broader coverage can also give you early warning on risks to your, or your client’s, portfolios.

Individual (Professional) Investors

Uniform and uninspiring research simply isn’t going to lead you into the most interesting names.

We don’t believe in marginal recommendations; we aim to identify stocks that could double or halve. We realise individual investors are more reliant on external sources when making investment decisions – and therefore these should be independent and of the highest possible quality.
