# Equity Research
We pride ourselves on a disciplined equity research process where we regularly engage with the industries and companies we cover. We are focused on identifying fundamental inflection points to aid in the rigorous analysis of our covered companies and industry forecasts. Our clients find value from getting in front of key themes and trends that lead to better investment and financial decisions.
## Our sole focus is producing high-quality equity research enabling our customers to be early, different, and right
We operate a limited distribution model and do not openly publish our market or equity research reports to newswires or media outlets to ensure a distinct competitive advantage for our customers. Partners leverage our vast network of relationships in consumer, industrial, fintech & payments, technology, and healthcare end markets to enable educated investment decisions.
We do not have a trading desk, and we do not have any investment banking relationships. In other words, we are completely independent with an unbiased perspective of our companies under equity research coverage.
