Types
of Equity Research - Private Equity, Contra-investment
- Private equity research - Private equity is
a broad term which commonly refers to any type of non-public Ownership
Equity securities that are not listed on a public exchange. Since they
are not listed on an public exchange, any
investor wishing to sell private equity securities must find a buyer in
the absence of a public marketplace. There are many transfer
restrictions on private securities. Investors in private securities
generally receive their return through one of three ways: an initial
public offering, a sale or merger, or a recapitalization. (Wikipedia article on Private equity).
The article goes on to add that, "private equity fund investment is
for those who can afford to have their capital locked in for long
periods of time and who are able to risk losing significant amounts of
money. This is balanced by the potential benefits of annual returns
which range up to 30% for successful funds. Most private equity funds
are offered only to institutional investors and individuals of
substantial net worth. This is often required by the law as well, since
private equity funds are generally less regulated than ordinary mutual
funds. For example in the US, most funds require potential investors to
qualify as accredited investors, which requires $1 million of net worth,
$200,000 of individual income, or $300,000 of joint income (with spouse)
for two documented years and an expectation that such income level will
continue". Private equity research hence is research done on
private companies with the objective of investing in them.
- Institutional equity research – equity
research done for other investment professionals and organizations
instead of for internal use, or for individuals
- Investment research – this is strictly not
equity research, as equities are commonly referred to stocks. Investment
research is a broader term that includes research all types of asset
class, including real estate, bonds, commodities, forex
and even non-standard investments such as investments in works of art
etc.
- Sector research – sector research refers to
equity research done for specific sectors. A sector could refer to an
industry sector (eg., chemicals), or to the size of the companies being
referred to (eg., small-cap) and so on.
- Mid cap research – a sub-set of the sector
research, focuses on mid-cap stocks
- Small cap research – a sub-set of the sector
research, focuses on small-cap stocks
- High growth companies research – a sub-set
of the sector research, focuses on high growth companies (many times in
sunrise and emerging industries)
- Emerging markets research – while this can
also be considered to be a part of sector research, the term emerging
markets has a much larger scope, hence this can also be considered to be
a separate category in itself.
- Long term, value investing equity research –
this refers to an investment approach / strategy rather to specific
operational parameters (sector research, on the other hand is more
specific and operational in nature). Renowned investors such as Warren
Buffer are known for their value investing approach where they put in
efforts to identify stocks that are currently undervalued but have
strong fundamentals that they will be excellent long-term bets.
