Our Custom Services
Who is Unicus Research?
Unicus Research is your source of independent expert investment research and analysis.
We provide you with actionable research and insights on some of the most important and dynamic industries and sectors, including energy, ESG, ICT/AI, and crypto/blockchain.
We combine economic, fundamental, and investigative analyses, turning over the rocks to uncover otherwise-obscured information that you can use in a data-congested world.
We often provide insights to markets and companies otherwise overlooked (publicly available information) by analysts.
How?
We come to our insights and recommendations through challenging both the information provided and the information harnessed through our sources within the legal bounds. Thus, every process, analysis, and assumption stated or assumed is challenged and corroborated. This simple but time-consuming process is the core to understanding an industry and those companies within the industry.
Our clients have eliminated the considerable time and expense of building an in-house analyst team. Concurrently, we empower our client asset managers with utterly unique insights along with custom ideas & research. The time spent managing in-house analysts frees up additional time for them to focus on managing their portfolios. Most of our clients could not afford to come even close to what we do. As part of the ecosystem, we also can provide these services at attractive rates and offer full support, some support, or menu pricing for our reports.
Asset managers' time is valuable and limited, which is ok; that is why we serve our clients.
We are creating an ecosystem for the new emerging managers and established managers with actionable, well-researched insights and recommendations by acting as their outsourced analyst desk.
The Unicus Team
Unicus was founded in 2020 by experienced investment analyst Laks Ganapathi. The core team includes highly respected investment professional Burke Files and noted economist Julian Morris. Combined, we have over seven decades' experience in economic and investment analysis and research.
How our Research is Different from Other Analysts
We are an unaffiliated, independent research platform that combines analysis from multiple perspectives. We are not your regular desktop analyst.
1. We listen to your needs to create a product that can complement your short-term and long-term portfolio needs.
2. We harness copious data to extrapolate and present you with actionable insights on time.
3. We provide you with nose-to-tail research and analysis, beginning with the macro picture and drilling down into the nitty-gritty of particular stocks.
4. We take you beyond the database reports, often looking for situations where companies may have any combination of:
i. Unscrupulous management
ii. Accounting irregularities
iii. Undisclosed related-party transactions
iv. Illegal/unethical business or financial reporting practices
v. Undisclosed regulatory, product, or economic issues
vi. Off-balance sheet transactions
