Our research team has extensive experience in industry and security analysis, equity valuation, and investment management. We bring a
“buy side” mindset to the idea generation process, cutting across industries and market capitalization ranges in our search for compelling equity investment opportunities.

    Value Proposition

    iPod vs. Other MP3 Players - As early as 1996 MP3 players were available to the public for purchase. For the first few years the only real value aside from price comparisons were the amount of music they could store. This started to change when Apple Inc. launched into the market with the new iPod player, which was coupled to iTunes software to manage the music through a computer program which allowed users to organize and rename the music on consumer computers. This software did not add cost to the iPod itself, and was listed as a free add-on: a classic example of a customer value added proposition. The customer is given added value through the software iTunes because it is free of additional cost to the customer. The value added proposition of iTunes, combined with a user interface generally acknowledged as intuitive and easy to use, led to market dominance by iPod in its various forms. This dominance then allowed a secondary value proposition to emerge, in that the accessory market (external speakers etc.) became skewed towards servicing the iPod physical interface, which further increased market dominance.…

    Initially, the VaR has been anticipating to quantify the available risks in derivatives markets, but it has grown widely and it has now been applied in measuring all kinds of risks, primarily credit and market risks. It also developed from a tool that quantifies risk to a tool that is applied in active risk management. Today VaR has shifted beyond application in financial institutions. In the beginning, companies with largely exposed to financial markets used other kinds of activities before spreading to other businesses. Today, an ever-growing numbers of individual businesses apply and appreciate VaR as an effective tool for quantifying financial risksKrause (2003). This trend is evidently aided by the fact that non-specialists easily understand VaR. The risks of the prevalent use of VaR are an overdependence on the results it gives, misconception, and even abuse. It is as a result that, essential individuals using VaR understand its problems and limitations. In this paper, I will explore in depth these constraints, which unluckily do not mark prominently.…
