TriggerPoint
Research
TriggerPoint Research (TPR) is a venture launched to provide an institutional investor Advisory and Research platform for seasoned investment professionals to continue to excel in a collaborative and equitable way.
Our goals and experience
Three of the founding Directors share more than 100 years of sales, research and investment experience specifically in the Financials Services (banks, insurance, payments) space.
Our goals:
- To follow our sectors in a more agile and thematic way than is possible for typical sell-side firms.
- To publish a regular flow of valued added “Sales Desk” and analytical commentary.
- To generate money-making and widely actionable investment ideas.
We are not looking to reinvent the wheel, nor publish research for the sake of coverage. We are looking for like-minded professionals who love what they do, but want to do it in a more liberating way.
Meet our team
Jonathan Tyce
Founder and CEO
Jonathan has nearly 30 years of financial services experience across the buy, (First State, Amex), sell-side (Fox-Pitt Kelton, FBR) and hedge fund (JO Hambro Capital Management) spectrum. Twelve years building out Bloomberg Intelligence’s research product (London and HK) rounded out his career path before launching a payments writing and consulting business (Kenaz) in late 2023 and TriggerPoint in January 2024.
Phill Haggard
Director of Alpha Capture
Philip has spent 35 years working in European equities with a variety of sell-side firms ranging from bulge bracket to boutique, both as an analyst and a specialist salesperson. His focus has been on the European Financials(and particularly Insurance) sectors. Philip sees Insurance as a fruitful sector to follow as complexity and volatility can create opportunities, and it is liquid enough to trade.
Leigh Goodwin
Director of Research
Leigh joined TriggerPoint as Head of Research after nearly 40 years in the banking sector, both in the Corporate World (Abbey National – 1993-2004) and as a UK banks analyst where he worked with Jonathan at Fox-Pitt Kelton during the 2007-9 banking crisis. With stints at Citi, RBC and Goldman Sachs (supervisory analyst), he will develop the TPR research product to be distributed to professional investors from 2Q24.
Jonny Vaughan
CTO
Jonny has 24 years working in the technology sector, managing a digital agency that provides services to financial institutions. Jonny’s focus is on developing technology to improve business efficiency and performance. By adopting and maximising open source technologies, Jonny improves technological ROI and improves user experiences across all aspects of digital.
Services
Sales
A dialogue with a variety of institutional investors – in terms of scope, style and geography. — supported by written commentary and trading ideas. Access to alpha capture platforms will be provided via relationships with AIMPaaS (marketplace) and TIM.
Research
We will offer independent research as appointed representatives of Messels (themselves fully authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK for the provision of investment advice). TPR will offer short-form, catalyst-driven research on its highest conviction alpha-generating ideas as well as hosting strong analysts with differentiated, clearly articulated views. Coverage is not our goal; being right and having a view is.
Get involved
We are looking for idea generators who understand where the market is headed (sector, index, asset class) and how to play emerging themes and rotation. Whether your passion and skillset lies purely as an Alpha Capture contributor, or a research analyst, or you would like to marry the two and work with an emerging team, we are keen to chat.
