Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

As one of the leading Asian consumer markets, South Korea provides ample opportunities for luxury goods companies across many categories. Stable economic growth, low income inequality, and the industrial hubs of Seoul and Gyeonggi-do have fuelled spending on luxury goods and high-end services. However, the population is ageing and youth unemployment is high. While the minimum wage has been raised, social welfare is still inadequate.
