We at Arete take idea generation very seriously - one of our primary goals is to focus our clients on actionable buys and sells.
Our research process, and in fact our rating system, is based on the core concept of "Best Ideas", and accordingly, Arete publishes a monthly note highlighting the firm's highest conviction Long and Short recommendations with the "Best Ideas" moniker.
Analysts recommend stocks as Longs and Shorts for inclusion in the Best Ideas publication based on a stocks' absolute return potential, related investment risk and other factors which may include share liquidity, debt refinancing, estimate risk, economic outlook of principal countries of operation, or other company or industry considerations.
Each month, approximately 15% of stocks are rated Long and approximately 15% are rated Short.
