About

This site publishes a broad selection of content of interest to investment professionals from different parts of the investment ecosystem.

That wide mix fits with these core principles:

✔ Ideas (and investments and products and services) migrate across the ecosystem over time.

✔ Wherever you are within the ecosystem, you are linked with others. For example, an asset manager is evaluating securities, but also is connecting with asset owners, investment advisors, due diligence analysts, etc., so it is critical to understand how their parts of the world are evolving too.

✔ Successful organizations need both specialists and generalists – and qualitative and quantitative decision making capabilities – as well as the ability to bridge the gaps between them.

✔ This is a business of people and organizations, who happen to be working on investments. That should never be forgotten.

Through the curation and analysis of the work of others, as well as the publication of original content, our goal is to provide unique insights and the kind of idea creation that is the lifeblood of the ecosystem. Implicit in our approach is the need to provide the quality of output that will create value for you well beyond the price of a subscription.

The Investment Ecosystem is produced by tjb research and edited by Tom Brakke.

This site does not provide investment advice of any kind. If an investment idea is referenced, it is for purposes of illustration and education, not as a recommendation to buy or sell that investment. Any potential conflicts of interest at the time of the posting are disclosed.
