Our research process commences with economic forecasting which underpins the top down analysis conducted to identify market sectors that are expected to outperform. This is then complemented with our company specific research that incorporates bottom up analytical techniques (including in-depth financial analysis, creation of earnings models, discounted cash flow analysis together with comparative industry assessment) used to identify the companies within those market sectors anticipated to provide superior performance.

The research team at HOLST publishes research and reports on a wide range of topics on both a regular and timely basis. This research assists our clients to both assess new investment opportunities and reassess those already adopted. HOLST research is written for the private client in a clear, concise and practical manner.
