VANDA FOR STRATEGISTS

Test the view against what the market is already positioned for.

Independent positioning, macro and flow evidence for building and defending a differentiated market view.

A strong house view needs more than a narrative. Vanda gives strategists proprietary evidence on positioning, flows and the macro backdrop, helping show where a call differs from consensus, where the market is already committed and what could force the view to change.

What does the positioning data say about the view I am about to publish?

StrategistsBuilding a house view, then defending it.

The questions Strategists need answered.

Start with the market view, then go to the intelligence that best answers it. Vanda connects cross-asset positioning, structured macro data and independent strategist access to help strategists establish what consensus has already priced, where a call genuinely differs and what evidence would force the view to change.
  1. 01

    What has the market already priced?

    Use positioning data to establish how far consensus has already been expressed before framing the view.

  2. 02

    Where does my call genuinely differ?

    Compare the house thesis with independent positioning and macro evidence rather than relying on narrative differentiation alone.

  3. 03

    What evidence supports the argument?

    Use proprietary datasets, structured macro series and Vanda research to substantiate the view with observable market behavior.

  4. 04

    What would invalidate the call?

    Identify the positioning, flow, macro or catalyst changes that would challenge the thesis before publication.

  5. 05

    Who can challenge the interpretation?

    Use direct access to Vanda strategists to debate the setup and test assumptions against an independent framework.

Give the house view something concrete to argue with.

Vanda combines VandaMacro and VandaXasset to give strategists structured evidence on the macro backdrop and how investors are positioned. The data provides an independent reference point for deciding whether a market view is consensus, contrarian or vulnerable to a change in regime.

From the question to the right Vanda intelligence.

Vanda helps strategists ground a house view in observable market behaviour rather than narrative alone. Proprietary evidence on positioning and the macro regime, together with tools to interrogate it directly, makes it easier to substantiate a differentiated call and defend it once it is published.
VandaMacro + Vanda Macro Intelligence

What is changing in the macro regime?

Use structured macro and capital-flow datasets alongside thematic research to understand where a regime is changing and what that could mean across markets.

VandaXasset

What is already expressed in positioning?

Measure cross-asset positioning and crowding to see where the market has already committed to the prevailing narrative.

Vanda Tactical Strategy

Where are tactical pressure points?

Connect positioning, flows and catalysts to understand vulnerabilities and near-term opportunities around the broader view.

AI Monitors

Can I interrogate the evidence directly?

Use natural-language search across subscribed Vanda data and research to move from a market question to the underlying evidence.

The Vanda solutions most relevant to Strategists.

  • Data

    VandaMacro provides the structured macro data layer; VandaXasset provides cross-asset positioning and flow evidence.

  • Insights

    Vanda Macro Intelligence and Vanda Tactical Strategy provide the independent macro and positioning-led interpretation around those datasets. AI Monitors help interrogate the evidence.

  • Advisory

    Macro Intelligence IB Chat and Tactical Strategy IB Chat give strategists direct access to peers who can challenge the argument in real time.

Argue the view out before you publish it.

Use Vanda Advisory to test assumptions, challenge interpretations and ask how the team is reading the same evidence. The value is not agreement; it is an independent second framework against which the house view can be defended or refined.
