How it works
Why institutions choose us
Independence you can audit. Reach you can rely on.
The financial industry runs on relationships and information advantage. We sit on the same side of the table as our clients — no underwriting fees, no soft-dollar entanglements, no proprietary trading desk.
01 — INDEPENDENCE
No conflicts of interest
Fee-for-service model only. We don't earn placement fees, trading commissions or performance carry — so our advice is genuinely aligned with your mandate.
02 — REACH
On-the-ground across 40 markets
Correspondents and senior researchers in financial capitals from London, New York and Singapore to Riyadh, Mumbai, Lagos, São Paulo and Almaty.
03 — RIGOR
Editorial discipline, not hype
Every brief is sourced, footnoted and reviewed by a senior partner. We'd rather publish nothing than publish a guess dressed as analysis.
04 — DISCRETION
Built for institutional trust
ISO-aligned data handling, named-partner accountability, and engagement terms that satisfy the most exacting compliance and procurement teams.
How we engage
A five-step path from briefing to decision.
Engagements typically run on a 90-day pilot with a single named partner accountable end-to-end. The shape is consistent; the depth flexes to your mandate.
01
Scoping
A 60-minute working session with your investment, legal and compliance leads to define the questions that actually matter.
02
Mapping
We build the regulatory, counterparty and macro map specific to your thesis, with primary sources attached to every claim.
03
Briefing
A 30-page foundational deliverable plus a live walkthrough with your team. No jargon, no hiding behind models.
04
Embedding
Ongoing research desk, weekly intelligence notes and named-partner office hours for the duration of the engagement.
05
Review
Quarterly retrospectives on what the market did, what we got right, and where the model needs to evolve.

Trusted allocators, fund managers and family offices.
A selection of unedited feedback from clients we've worked with across mandates.
Trojan IFSC has become an extension of our investment team. Their regulatory mapping saved us roughly six months on a cross-border mandate that was already behind schedule.
AR
What sets them apart is the editorial discipline. The briefs are short, footnoted and never wrong twice. Our committee reads them before the FT.
MK
We engaged them for counterparty diligence on a complex EM trade. They flagged a beneficial-ownership issue our internal team had missed. Fee paid for itself many times over.
