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.
Single-name deep dives
Bottom-up coverage of undercovered businesses. Models, theses, and risk maps for investors who hold for years, not quarters.
Portfolios with intent
Long-horizon allocation frameworks built around durable structural shifts — not short-term momentum or speculative narratives.
Beyond public equity
Commodities, private markets, and real assets — the parts of the portfolio that public equity research can't price in.
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.

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