About Ridire Research
Written by Adam Polkinghorn, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Ridire Capital Management, Ridire Research explores long/short equity ideas, cross-asset themes, single names and the evolving structure of global markets.
Ridire Research is built for sophisticated investors who want thoughtful idea generation without a 40-page report every time.
Most posts are designed to be read in under 15 minutes. They focus on the key points: the thesis, why it may be misunderstood, what could change market perception, and what risks could invalidate the idea.
The goal is not to do all of the work for the reader. Serious investors already have their own screens, models, mandates, risk limits, and valuation frameworks.
The goal is to surface exceptional ideas, frame them clearly, and give readers a strong starting point.
Philosophy
Ridire Research does not try to predict markets with false precision.
Each article presents a clear hypothesis based on available evidence. The focus is on transparent reasoning, disciplined thinking, and identifying situations where narratives may be incomplete, misunderstood, or mispriced.
Our job is not to do the work for you.
Our job is to help you find ideas that may be worth doing the work on.
Who It’s For
Ridire Research is written for investors, analysts, quants, founders, operators, students, and anyone who wants clearer frameworks for thinking about markets.
Most articles are concise enough to read quickly, but substantive enough to give readers a real starting point for deeper research.
