The Clargus beta waitlist is open. Content creators and personal investors join through their own forms. - [Insights](https://clargus.com/insights/): Posts from the Clargus graph: the connection a stock screen would not show, the number that would prove it wrong, and the chart behind it. - [Blog](https://clargus.com/blog/): Long-form thinking on where investment research is going. For PMs, CIOs, and the people who care how this category actually evolves. - [RSS feed](https://clargus.com/rss.xml): insight previews and blog articles. - [Faster search is not the same as better investment research](https://clargus.com/blog/retrieval-is-not-intelligence/): Finding a source is useful. Knowing what it changes about an investment is the harder job. A research process needs to do both, and remember the answer. - [Your research should survive the next quarter](https://clargus.com/blog/signals-fade-between-quarters/): The investment memo captures a view at one moment. The assumptions, sources, and unresolved questions need a life beyond that moment. - [Different holdings can hide the same risk](https://clargus.com/blog/second-order-exposures/): Sector labels do not tell the whole story. Shared suppliers, customers, financing, or regulation can connect investments that look unrelated on a portfolio screen. ## Solutions - [All solutions](https://clargus.com/solutions/): one research infrastructure for every kind of researcher. - [Clargus for Hedge Funds](https://clargus.com/solutions/hedge-funds/): Clargus for hedge funds: Your edge is buried in the connections your competitors aren’t looking for. The same filings, models, and headlines reach every desk. - [Clargus for Family Offices](https://clargus.com/solutions/family-offices/): Clargus for family offices: A small investment team. A much bigger field of vision. Family offices rarely have a specialist for every holding, geography, or emerging risk. - [Clargus for Asset Managers](https://clargus.com/solutions/asset-managers/): Clargus for asset managers: Stop rebuilding research every time the market changes. Across sectors, mandates, and portfolios, teams repeat the same collection, screening, and update work. - [Clargus for Wealth Managers](https://clargus.com/solutions/wealth-managers/): Clargus for wealth managers: More client portfolios. Not more unanswered questions. Every client expects a tailored explanation when their investments are affected. - [Clargus for Institutional Investors](https://clargus.com/solutions/institutional-investors/): Clargus for institutional investors: Diversified across managers. Exposed through the same hidden links. Allocating across funds can disguise shared suppliers, counterparties, macro sensitivities, and economic dependencies. - [Clargus for Portfolio Managers](https://clargus.com/solutions/portfolio-managers/): Clargus for portfolio managers: Your analysts should build conviction. Not rebuild the same research. Portfolio managers need answers across dozens of holdings, but every new question can send analysts back into filings, spreadsheets, and repetitive - [Clargus for CIOs & Heads of Research](https://clargus.com/solutions/cios-heads-of-research/): Clargus for cios & heads of research: Your best analysts create methods. Make those methods scale. Research organizations waste senior talent when every desk recreates the same process and important knowledge remains locked in individuals’ files. - [Clargus for Risk Managers](https://clargus.com/solutions/risk-managers/): Clargus for risk managers: The risk you cannot see is the risk you cannot manage. Risk reports describe known positions and measured factors. - [Clargus for Macro Analysts](https://clargus.com/solutions/macro-analysts/): Clargus for macro analysts: Macro moves through a network. Your models should see the network. A rates, FX, or commodity move does not affect every company in a sector the same way. - [Clargus for Equity Analysts](https://clargus.com/solutions/equity-analysts/): Clargus for equity analysts: The important insight is rarely on page one. Reading another filing is not the same as discovering what matters. - [Clargus for Quant Researchers](https://clargus.com/solutions/quant-researchers/): Clargus for quant researchers: Your next signal might not be in a price series. Many potentially useful signals live in changing relationships between companies, events, and markets. - [Clargus for Data Scientists](https://clargus.com/solutions/data-scientists/): Clargus for data scientists: The hard part isn’t another model. It’s understanding the market it models. Financial data is fragmented across documents, entities, time, and relationships. - [Clargus for Independent & Self-Directed Investors](https://clargus.com/solutions/independent-investors/): Clargus for independent & self-directed investors: The market is connected. Your research should be too. You can read the same news as the professionals. - [Clargus for Active Traders](https://clargus.com/solutions/traders/): Clargus for active traders: The headline is the event. The opportunity is in the read-through. When information breaks, everyone can see the same headline. - [Clargus for Academics & Researchers](https://clargus.com/solutions/academics/): Clargus for academics & researchers: Market relationships evolve. Your research can evolve with them. A static dataset captures one view of a moving system. - [Clargus for Research Creators](https://clargus.com/solutions/research-creators/): Clargus for research creators: Stop selling one more opinion. Build research people can keep using. Great investment research often disappears into a feed hours after publication. - [Alpha Capture on Clargus](https://clargus.com/marketplace/alpha-capture/): An alpha capture platform for any fund: source investment ideas from outside researchers, track how each idea performs, and follow the ones that work. ## Glossary - [Glossary](https://clargus.com/glossary/): Plain definitions of the investment research terms behind Clargus: alpha capture, financial knowledge graphs, second-order effects and investment theses. - [Alpha capture](https://clargus.com/glossary/alpha-capture/): Alpha capture is a system in which an investment firm collects trade ideas from outside contributors, records each idea at the moment it is submitted, and tracks how it performs. Over time the firm learns whose ideas work, and rewards and follows those contributors. - [Financial knowledge graph](https://clargus.com/glossary/financial-knowledge-graph/): A financial knowledge graph is a database that stores companies, people, products, regulators, events and filings as connected entities, with the relationships between them, such as supplier, customer, lender or subsidiary, stored as links. Because the links are explicit, software can follow a change from one company to the others it affects. - [Second-order effects (investing)](https://clargus.com/glossary/second-order-effects-investing/): In investing, a second-order effect is the indirect consequence of an event: the impact on the suppliers, customers, lenders, competitors and regions connected to the company in the news, rather than on that company itself. A third-order effect goes one connection further. - [Investment thesis](https://clargus.com/glossary/investment-thesis/): An investment thesis is a short, testable argument for why an investment should work: what you expect to happen, why it is not already in the price, what would prove you wrong, and over what time frame. Thesis monitoring is the ongoing work of checking that argument against new evidence. ## Optional - [Full site copy for language models](https://clargus.com/llms-full.txt) - [Privacy](https://clargus.com/privacy/), [Terms](https://clargus.com/terms/), [Cookies](https://clargus.com/cookies/), [Accessibility](https://clargus.com/accessibility/)
