Asset management
Research that keeps pace with your whole book, so your team can spend its time on judgment rather than legwork.
What the job asks of you
A long-only manager is judged against a benchmark over years, by clients who expect every holding to be understood.
A book wider than the team
A diversified portfolio holds more names than a research team can follow closely, and the ones in the background still carry risk.
Pressure on fees
With passive products pressing on fees, an active manager has to show more value from research without a matching rise in cost.
Views that must stand up
Committees and clients ask why a name is held, and the answer needs its evidence, its history and the case against it.
A working day with Cairn
Cairn keeps each holding's case current between committee meetings and puts what changed in front of the PM.
-
Keep every holding current
Each name in the book has its own case file, refreshed as filings, results and news arrive.
Research Harness -
Notice what changed
News AI reads the wire for the book, and after each earnings print the questions it touches are reopened.
News AI -
Go deeper where it matters
At the Pro level, the Harness works the whole agenda and writes a research paper of three to five pages, bottom line first.
Research Harness -
Test the view
AI analysts with different frameworks take the same question, a challenger argues the other side, and what stays contested comes to the PM.
AI Analyst -
Bring it to committee
Each thesis keeps its earlier versions, its sources and its open points, and each published paper is kept as a PDF for the record.

How it fits your business
How your business works
An asset manager earns a fee on the assets it manages, so its business grows with performance and with clients' trust in its process. Research is a large part of the cost of being active, and it has to reach across the whole book.
| What your business needs | What Cairn changes |
|---|---|
| More of the book covered properly | Agents keep a case file current for every holding, so the team can spend its time where judgment is needed. |
| A process clients and committees can see | Every view carries its sources, its history and the counter-argument, ready to show rather than reconstruct. |
| Research cost that stays predictable | Research runs within the caps you set for each case, and every call keeps a record of what it cost and what it did. |
