Topdown Charts - Chart Driven Macro Insights for Investors
A very warm welcome to Market Sentiment subscribers!!
Topdown Charts is focused on providing independent investment research to institutional investors… But we kept getting requests from people who are either not in that category --- or who are in that space but either lack budget for the full service, or simply lack the bandwidth to consume the full service…
So the intent here is to create something that condenses down what we do with the full service, to provide a highly useful entry-level service for:
People who are time poor: they just want the key points
(or they don’t need all of the fine details)
but they don’t want to miss emerging themes and ideas
and/or don’t have the institutional budget
and who want hand-picked charts that capture critical issues, but also want the context - the “so what?“
>> Basically you get the distilled insights, no fluff, no nonsense, pure insight.
Specifically, what you get:
Weekly Insights Report (Tuesday NZ time)
Monthly Asset Allocation Review (start of the month)
Full Access to the report archives and Q&A
Key Benefits:
Get onto emerging risks + interesting opportunities
Stay informed on meaningful macro themes/trends
Access to exclusive charts with a clear “so what?“
It’s like having an investment strategist in your corner, helping you keep on top of macro and markets; pointing out critical risks and opportunities.
What next?
If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, the best thing is to get an annual subscription as it works out to be the cheapest ($295/year vs $30/month).
If you need more info first — simply sign up as a free user in the first instance so you can receive the free “Chart of the Week” and updates about the service. You can also check out this sample report.
Otherwise, just jump on a monthly subscription so you can get a feel for the service and then convert to annual later if you’re happy (or cancel if it’s not right!).
The other thing you can do if you’re after market insights, but lack budget would be to check out the Weekly S&P500 ChartStorm that our Head of Research and Founder Callum Thomas puts out in the weekends.
