TIM for the Buy Side
Trade Ideas vs. Traditional Research
Trade ideas are client-specific recommendations that outline what stock to buy long or sell short, how much to invest, and the rationale.
Unlike traditional sell-side research, ideas are based on how the market is likely to value a stock right now, taking all infomation into account.
Ideas stay open about three weeks on average, but range from 1 day to 12 months.
Do brokers generate alpha?
Unlike traditional sell-side research, trade ideas are client specific and based on how the market is likely to value a stock near term – not a year from now. “Pay for performance” also serves as a powerful incentive, encouraging brokers to develop ideas that produce real alpha for you.
Statistically, there is significant Alpha generated by TIM brokers on both relative and absolute measures. On average, 65-70% of TIM authors outperform their regional benchmarks (see above). In addition, TIM provides buy-side firms with a view on to the latest market thinking, and a means to measure their brokers objectively for a significant aspect of the overall broker relationship.
