About VogelHood Research
How We Work
Now more than ever, Wall Street needs to determine what is meaningful in Washington. Fortunately, with the rapid growth? in transparency around campaign, legislative and lobbying activity, there has been an explosion in the amount of data available to paint a much clearer picture of how political interests affect markets. However, until VogelHood Research, no prior firm has successfully captured and analyzed this stream of signals to predict outcomes.
As an alternative to the investment-focus of sell-side research and the anecdotal elements of expert networks, VogelHood Research provides a unique input for asset managers. Unlike the antiquated approaches to political intelligence that rely on subjective evidence, the firm uses a proprietary, data-driven methodology to help investment professionals make better decisions.
When combined with analysts who recognize legislative and regulatory patterns, and a client-focused platform ?built to report on data in a timely manner, VogelHood Research provides actionable value for the investment community.
VogelHood Research is truly an independent research organization that is entirely owned by the partners; the firm receives no outside investment.
