Independent investment research · Est. 2026

Long-horizon research for serious investors.

Equity analysis, thematic portfolio construction, and alternative-asset insight — written by three analysts who put their work in print.

01 / Equity

Single-name deep dives

Bottom-up coverage of undercovered businesses. Models, theses, and risk maps for investors who hold for years, not quarters.

02 / Thematic

Portfolios with intent

Long-horizon allocation frameworks built around durable structural shifts — not short-term momentum or speculative narratives.

03 / Alternatives

Beyond public equity

Commodities, private markets, and real assets — the parts of the portfolio that public equity research can't price in.

Why Vaults

Independent research, in plain sight.

What structurally separates analyst-led research from the desk reports you've been reading.

Vaults Capital

  • Independent and fee-based. No banking, trading, or IPO mandates pulling on the thesis.
  • Three named analysts. Bios, track records, and direct contact — not a brand and a phone tree.
  • Coverage ends when conviction does — not when the earnings calendar says it should.
  • Every report ships with the model, the assumptions, and the risk map. We show our work.
  • Depth over breadth. We cover what we know, not what generates seat fees.

Conventional research

  • Research desks tied to banking, trading flow, and capital-markets mandates.
  • Anonymous teams behind a brand. Access tiered by AUM and trading volume.
  • Quarterly rating maintenance driven by earnings cadence, not by thesis change.
  • Summary ratings up front. Models, drivers, and assumptions behind a separate paywall.
  • Coverage universe optimised for client commission revenue, not for conviction.

The team

Built on the conviction that independent research, written by people who think in years, is undersupplied.
