Our principles

Our principles are independence and integrity. Our commitment is to deliver a world class Technical Analysis product to our clients.

What is our analytical approach?

Methodology-wise, we follow a broad-based setup, based on a sustainable, systematical and rule based model. Our model includes classic technical concepts such as trend analysis, relative strength, sentiment analysis or Elliott Wave theory. We use a broad range of price indicators as well as a larger number of proprietary market structure and market breadth indicators on US, European and Asian equity markets.

Inter-market cycles

Timing-wise, the main focus of our product is on market cycles and inter-market (cross asset) analysis. Inter-market cycles are one of the primary drivers in identifying structural turning points in global financial markets. Cycle analysis is basically a countertrend methodology. Over recent years we have been developing a proprietary multi-factor cycle model, which provides us with timing signals ranging from intraday to the larger time frames. This enables us to identify major market turning/inflection points for short-term traders and for long-term investors with focus on secular investment trends, which differentiates our product from the competition and makes it a valued service for our clients.

We provide different degrees of service levels and actively speak to more than 200 institutional clients globally. Our clients are pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, classic wealth managers and family offices on all 6 continents. Michael Riesner is a member in several asset allocation committees, including the UBS Pension Fund, which is one of the biggest pension funds in Switzerland. Michael Riesner is a valued speaker in investor conferences and in international print media.
