When the Aventus Group (AVN AU) / HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (HDN AU) Scheme was announced four months ago, it looked to complete in late January or very early February. 
Because of an ATO staff shortage, the Second Court Hearing was delayed by nearly three weeks, pushing implementation back. The calculation of S&amp;P/ASX index rankings may not be as expected.
Most or all of the AVN downweight is covered by a HDN upweight next Wednesday but whither ASX200 in March?

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.

Technical Analysis

The weight of the evidence continues to support our mixed, but overall constructive outlook. Below we outline the basis for our outlook, and we also highlight opportunities within Real Estate and Health Care.
