Behind the Research

We're the team that digs deep into market data when others skim the surface. Every recommendation we make comes from months of analysis, not market hype or trending headlines.

Our Research Philosophy

Most investment research follows the crowd. We started Draconis Stynthyera in 2019 because we saw too many investors losing money on advice that sounded good but wasn't backed by real analysis.

Our approach is different. We spend weeks studying company fundamentals, market trends, and economic indicators before we ever suggest an investment direction. It's slower than the instant advice you'll find elsewhere, but our clients tell us it's what they needed all along.

We work with Canadian investors who want to understand what they're buying, not just follow the latest tips. That means detailed reports, honest assessments of risks, and research you can actually use to make decisions.

Honest Assessment

We'll tell you when we think something's overpriced or when market conditions don't favor certain sectors.

The Story Behind Our Research

Back in 2018, I was working for a large investment firm where the pressure was always about selling products, not helping clients. The research felt rushed, and the recommendations seemed to change with whatever was trending that month.

I remember one client who lost a significant portion of his retirement savings following advice that looked good on paper but hadn't been properly vetted. That's when I realized the industry needed researchers who cared more about accuracy than speed.

So we built Draconis Stynthyera around a simple idea: take the time to get it right. Our research process takes longer because we dig into details that others skip. We look at management quality, competitive positioning, and long-term industry trends before we consider whether something belongs in a portfolio.

It's not glamorous work, but our clients appreciate having research they can trust. When we recommend something, they know we've done the homework. And when we say to avoid something, they understand we're not being pessimistic – we're being careful with their money.
