How we hold ourselves to account

  • Every number is sourced. Sources sit under every table and at the end of every note.
  • Every view says what would prove it wrong. A specific condition, not a hedge.
  • Every call is graded in public. On a date set in advance, on our Open Calls page.
  • Holdings are disclosed. Each note says whether its authors own what it discusses.

Researchers gather data, build tables and models, and draft sections for our analysts. They're listed here by name and school.

Analysts own a coverage area and publish notes under their own name. Researchers can move up to analyst after publishing work with us.
