What makes us different – Global research
The breadth, depth and integration of research efforts are unparalleled in the industry. However, for us, this is simply essential to providing our clients with thorough and insightful investment decisions.
Our investment decisions are guided by analysis based on in-depth knowledge, which is why we value research so highly. We believe that the better you know a company, the better your investment decisions.
Three factors distinguish our approach to research:
Breadth
Our research efforts are unconstrained by geography, so we're able to uncover opportunities wherever they may lie. Capital's analysts frequently travel from our 12 global research offices to far-flung locations in order to gain on-the-ground insight about potential investment convictions. Whether it be evaluating a mine in Namibia or speaking with government officials in Kazakhstan, our analysts go to different corners of the earth to evaluate a company's operations first-hand.
Depth
Our analysts go far beyond 'desk' research such as reading company reports and evaluating financials. We commit substantial resources to on-the-ground research - we meet companies before and after investing, and talk to a company's suppliers, customers and competitors to get a well-rounded view of its operations. We also consult industry specialists, economists and government officials to get a complete picture of an investment idea.
Integration
Reflecting our collaborative culture, our analysts work together across industries, geographies and asset classes – they travel together, do company visits together, and share research.They do this so that we have better, more complete insight into an investment idea. For example, an equity analyst may consult a fixed income counterpart to evaluate the credit worthiness of a company or take part in week-long discussion 'off-sites' with other Capital analysts from all backgrounds and industries to understand how global trends affect their areas of coverage.
