Quo Vadis Capital, Inc.

Quo Vadis Capital provides research and consulting products to institutional investors — including managers of private investment funds, pension funds, municipal and state funds, registered mutual funds, and corporate clients — through fixed-fee reports and bespoke projects. The firm also offers discretionary separately managed accounts to individuals and high-net-worth individuals, and the Brochure states that its institutional research and consulting services are not sold to individual investors.

The firm’s investment work is driven by a proprietary analytical method applied to company income statements and balance sheets, supplemented by public financial data, interviews with management and industry participants, and primary research such as attendance at trade shows. For separately managed accounts the stated objective is long-term capital appreciation, with discretionary trading conducted consistent with each client’s goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, and any reasonable restrictions the client imposes.

Quo Vadis sells its research on a subscription basis — with research subscription fees normally payable quarterly in advance — and provides periodic written reports or commentary, a distribution model that is uncommon among similar supported firms. To manage conflicts between research and portfolio management, the firm’s policies prohibit analysts and household members from owning covered securities and it does not buy or sell securities of companies it covers for its separately managed accounts; it also uses Interactive Brokers’ platform and a model portfolio to monitor and effect transactions across client accounts.
