Schmidt Research Partners Limited is a London based investment advisory firm, providing global advisory, due diligence, rating and research. We focus on two issues: finding outstanding, stable, long-term investment opportunities and avoiding bad investments, i.e. disasters such as highly leveraged funds, illiquid investments and fraudulent managers. In our investment approach we specialise in risk and risk factors: Quantitative and Qualitative Risks, quantifiable and non-quantifiable. The process ranges from understanding known and new risks, identifying them and managing them. Our research is based on in-depth qualitative, quantitative and structural analysis of financial markets, its participants and instruments, in particular alternative investment strategies and investment opportunities.
