Capital Factors | Xecology

c a p i t a l f a c t o r s

The factors influencing the value and impact of capital are trends in economics and markets.

Xecology assists the investor in assessing opportunities and risks against capital held, accessed or made available.

Macro and micro economic factors.

The Fundamental analysis process, applied under Senior Strategies of Micro Investing, incorporates the evaluation of all growth and risk factors that could potentially affect the performance of a targeted investment’.

For a corporation it includes it’s financial information, analysis of structure, organisational culture, statistical management, all forms of management information; administrative processes, level of public goodwill, innovation, research, Intel data bank, company executives, company officers, managers, staff morale, and competitive threats. The essential point is understand what are the growth drivers, how much momentum is left, is there potential to increase growth rates and what are the risks to growth.

Technical analysis is the analysis of asset performance within the market place for the last 5, 10, 15 and 20 years, covering a period of 3 real estate cycles, which have been argued to last for 7 years, without major upheavals in political and financial laws. Tax and social laws and impending major constitutional changes can disrupt a whole real estate period of 7 years.

Measuring and monitoring trends, including growth rates over long periods and comparing to the current environment can demonstrate and indicate future potential in investments and the longevity of those businesses and real assets.

Essentially, economic analysis observes and concludes on the trends of asset prices and economic activity; including confidence, presumptions and demand amongst investors.

Xecology knows what it must look for in terms of potential; including in the assessment of real values and the sustainability of social trends driving economic forces. We know how pricing dynamics work, how to control prices and values; systematically and ethically.

ECONOMICS

INFORMATION/ INTELLIGENCE

Information and Intelligence Reports

Increased information means increased competition amongst investors to acquire Quality Assets and Corporations.

But what makes Xecology different in the aim of assembling critical private equity information is that it seeks to acquire and observe information offline to target both market and technical information. We make sure the information is sufficiently specific, validated and well presented to be of real use to decision-makers.

Information is by far the most valuable asset in activities relating to investing and investments; investors rely on datasets to predict futures, assess value and to understand changing markets. The target is minimal investment for the highest return.

A key focus of intelligence is never what is emerging but what impact will it have; the clash of trends, intelligent forces, social wills, leadership and the inspiration of cultures.

Economic Evolution

We are looking for background information to direct investments to major locations, before assessing micro data relating to individual businesses.

Who are the current Emerging economies
What are the services, products, strategies and economic combinations being used to generate high expansion rates across a nation?
Which are the Threatened economies
What are the timelines associated with each nation?

The above will have indications on where to invest but still not fully determine an exact target.

See our reports on economic intel.

Megatrends

We assess the habits and cultures of societies to determine where they are in respect to their economic circumstances.

Social Forces
Challenges (economies, security)
Obsolescence

The above will indicate what are the pressures or attractions faced by populations and how this will affect their buying behaviour.

Competition
Better products and solutions
Advanced innovation
Technology

The world changes as it advances through electronics and these become backed by confidence from investors, who leverage these products to mass markets.

Here we assess the technologies that are making a break through and that have the potential for mass market attraction. Whilst PE won’t look at venture capital activity; we pay close attention to consider the impact on markets, the changes of behaviour and the maturing of such technologies into a business.
