About First Country Research

About company

First Country Research is dedicated to understanding and extracting the fundamental risk of investments based on the information the financial markets provide. Through the application of tools and methods borrowed from statistics and economics combined with a thorough understanding of investment analysis, First Country Research provides powerful insights into the value and risks of asset classes and specific investments. By using First Country Research, investors can optimize their investment portfolios throughout the entire process (generating ideas, implementation, risk monitoring and optimization). They believe that investors should generate investment ideas based on the (forward-looking) assessment of risks and fundamental factors instead of just using a (backward-looking) statistical analysis of time series. Our philosophy is that it is of significant value to understand and act upon the fundamentals. Or as they like to call it, Risk Management 2.0. More on this can be found in the “Philosophy” section.
