Contravisory Research and Management opened for business in 1972 as an equity research
firm providing equity investment managers with buy and sell recommendations based on the firm's long-term relative price trend research analysis. Currently
Contravisory Research covers 2000 mostly large cap and midcap stocks, 200 ADR's, 100 industry groups and 9 sectors for its research clients. The firm's strength
is spotting changes in the direction of a stock’s price, up or down, relative to their peer stocks, industry and sectors.
Contravisory Management began intensively marketing its investment management in 1999. The approach is opportunistic because the fund's investments are not
limited to set criteria involving market capitalizations and is agnostic toward growth versus value stocks. Investment decisions result strictly from their
proprietary research methodologies. Their strength is identifying and capitalizing on the long-term relative price trends, both positive and negative, that
exist in the market.
The firm now manages more than $600 million in Core Equity and a long/short hedge fund. Contravisory's clients are divided between high net worth individuals,
22 municipal pension funds, numerous religious institutions, corporations and foundations. The firm is 100% employee owned.
