Total Markets™

A division of Total Plant*

Developing Independent investment strategies, conducting market research and providing strategic asset allocation for investors

 

What We Do

Our Investment & Market Research division, called '' Total Markets™ '' provides independent market analysis, macroeconomic research, investment outlooks and strategic asset allocation to help investors better understand financial markets and make informed investment decisions.

Our objective is to provide concise, practical and evidence-based research that enables investors to understand our current market outlook and model portfolio in approximately 5–10 minutes, without having to spend hours reading financial news and lengthy market publications.

Our research is supported by a publicly available Forecast Track Record, allowing readers to evaluate our published forecasts over time.

 

Why Total Markets™ 

Our engineering expertise has always been founded on systematic analysis, risk assessment, reliability engineering, probability, decision analysis, and evidence-based methodologies. Using our RAM (reliability, availability & maintainability) analysis, we guide management and investors on investment decisions in plants and factories.

 

These same analytical principles, combined with macroeconomic analysis and financial market research, form the foundation of our investment research. Financial markets, like complex engineering systems, require disciplined evaluation of uncertainty, careful assessment of risks, and decisions based on objective data rather than emotion or speculation.

 

Our research combines fundamental analysis, macroeconomic trends, valuation, historical market cycles and risk assessment. We focus on disciplined analysis and clearly defined investment views rather than short-term speculation. We analyse historical and current market data to develop evidence-based expectations for future market behaviour.

 

By applying our proven and tested modelling, based on analytical and statistical methods developed through years of engineering and financial experience, we provide independent market research and investment strategy with a structured, objective, and evidence-based approach.

  • Macroeconomic Analysis

We present the results in a clear and simple form. No prior investment experience is required.

 

Why Choose Total Markets™

We believe investment research should be:

  • Independent – Our research is developed independently and reflects our own analysis and professional judgement based on publicly available information, economic analysis and market data. 

  • Objective – We base our conclusions on evidence, quantitative analysis, and clearly defined methodologies rather than emotion or market sentiment.

  • Transparent – We openly describe our methodology, assumptions, and applicable disclosures so readers can understand how our conclusions are reached.

  • Practical – Our reports focus on clear investment implications and model portfolio positioning rather than lengthy theoretical discussions.

  • Easy to Understand – Written in clear, straightforward English and designed for both experienced and non-professional investors.

  • Supported by Engineering & Industrial Experience – Our analytical approach is built upon decades of engineering, risk assessment, reliability engineering, probability, and decision-analysis experience.

  • ​​Time-Efficient – Each report is intentionally designed to provide a concise market outlook and strategic asset allocation that can typically be reviewed in 5–10 minutes.

  • Evidence-Based – Our outlooks are developed using quantitative analysis, statistical methods, macroeconomic research, valuation techniques, historical market behaviour, and current market conditions.

  • Accountable – We believe our research should be evaluated by its long-term performance. We openly publish our Forecast Track Record, allowing readers to compare our published forecasts with subsequent market developments.

 

We believe investment research should be judged not only by the quality of its analysis, but also by how its published forecasts perform over time. Our Forecast Track Record demonstrates our commitment to transparency by presenting both successful forecasts and those that required revision as market conditions evolved.
