Baritone is the research engine behind exceptional advisors. We combine innovation and time-tested principles to support your portfolio construction journey.
We work behind the scenes - giving advisors access to institutional-grade portfolio construction research, and ongoing analytical support.
We support advisors through the full portfolio construction process - from asset allocation and macro positioning to factor exposures, risk management, and currency considerations.
Our strategy models are designed to slot directly into your portfolio construction process - use them individually or combine them to build complete, risk-aware multi-asset portfolios.
Advisors receive regular research communications, positioning updates, and analytical support - so your client conversations are always grounded in current, rigorous thinking.
Our process is built on five integrated research dimensions - designed to stay adaptive across any market environment.
Top-down analysis of global economic conditions, policy dynamics, and market cycles
Rigorous framework for positioning across asset classes, geographies, and risk factors
Fundamental & quantitative evaluation of individual securities across equities and income
Independent evaluation of external investment vehicles and asset managers where applicable
Continuous risk monitoring with emphasis on downside protection and tail risk management
We leverage AI to efficiently process large datasets, identify non-linear relationships, and surface insights that traditional analysis may miss - particularly valuable for shorter, tactical horizons. That said, human judgment remains central; technology strengthens the process, but never replaces it.
