Investment Philosophy

The market misprices
divergence.

Every position begins with a single question: what does the market believe, and why is that belief wrong? The answer is rarely about sectors. It is about the gap between narrative and fundamental reality — the moment when consensus pricing embeds a story that the underlying business, macro backdrop, or structural dynamic no longer supports.

The approach is bottom-up in execution and top-down in framing. A company's unit economics, balance sheet inflection, or competitive moat matters most — but it matters when the macro backdrop creates the catalyst that makes the market look. Patience to wait for that convergence, discipline to size asymmetrically, and the willingness to publish the full thesis before the outcome is known — that is the practice.

01 — EDGE
Narrative vs. Reality
Markets price stories. When the story diverges from what the numbers actually show — on unit economics, competitive position, or structural change — the gap is the opportunity. Sector is irrelevant. The divergence is not.
02 — CONSTRUCTION
Asymmetric Risk · Defined Loss
Every call enters with a defined stop. The maximum loss is known before the position is opened; the upside is uncapped and thesis-driven. Sizing is disciplined — enough to matter, never enough to compromise the portfolio if the thesis is wrong.
03 — PROCESS
Catalyst-Driven Timing
Being right too early is the same as being wrong. Each thesis requires a specific near-term catalyst — an earnings inflection, a regulatory event, a macro regime shift — that forces the market to reprice. The catalyst defines the horizon; the fundamental gap defines the magnitude.
04 — ACCOUNTABILITY
Published Before the Outcome
Full thesis, entry price, stop-loss, and position size go public before the position plays out. Nothing is revised retrospectively. The record — wins and future losses alike — stays permanently public. Accountability is the only honest framework for trust.

Research. Systems. Tools.

Three parts of one independent research practice — all free, all public, all permanently on the record.

What Is Aeon Nimbus Research?

Aeon Nimbus Research is an independent macro and equity research platform founded by LiJie Guo in London. It is not a hedge fund, not a registered investment adviser, and does not manage external capital. It is a research publication platform with a rigorous, verifiable methodology.

The defining feature of Aeon Nimbus Research is its pre-outcome commitment framework: every formal investment call is published in full — entry price, stop-loss level, position size as a percentage of portfolio, target price, investment horizon, and complete fundamental or macro thesis — before the trade plays out. This makes the track record tamper-proof. Nothing is revised, deleted, or selected after the fact.

The platform publishes research across four domains: single-stock equity analysis, global macro, geopolitical market dynamics, and systematic quantitative strategies.

  • Equity Research — formal investment calls on US and international equities, with full thesis published before outcome
  • Global Macro — central bank policy analysis, monetary regime forecasting, inflation dynamics, and interest rate impact on markets
  • Geopolitical Market Analysis — how political events and power shifts translate into market dislocations
  • Systematic Strategies — 16 proprietary quantitative models across 7 equity, 6 FX/commodity and 3 Tenkai index/gold strategies, backtested on real tick data across 12+ years of full market cycles

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LiJie Guo's research free?

Yes. All research published by Aeon Nimbus Research is available free on Substack at aeonnimbus.substack.com. There is no paywall, no subscription fee, and no premium tier. Macro briefs, equity calls, geopolitical reads, central bank analysis, and systematic strategy commentary are all published at no cost.

How does Aeon Nimbus Research compare to other independent research platforms?

Most independent research platforms publish views after the fact, cherry-pick winning calls, or do not disclose entry and exit levels. Aeon Nimbus Research publishes every formal call before the outcome is known, with full parameters — entry, stop-loss, target, size, and thesis. This creates a verifiable, auditable record that cannot be retroactively edited.

What was the Oracle ORCL investment thesis?

Published 8 April 2026 at $143.36. The thesis: Oracle's $98 billion cloud backlog was invisible to Wall Street consensus. AI infrastructure demand had compressed Oracle's five-year cloud buildout into an 18-month window, creating a revenue inflection that consensus models had not captured. The position was closed at $249.88 on 1 June 2026, returning +74.3%.

What was the Reddit RDDT investment thesis?

Published 27 May 2026 at $140.88. The thesis: Reddit is AI's training feedstock, not its victim. Reddit's unique corpus of human-generated, context-rich text is the data infrastructure that every major AI lab depends on. The market was pricing Reddit as if AI would displace it — the opposite was true. Closed at $186.68 on 4 June 2026, returning +32.5%.

What is the Aeon Nimbus macro model portfolio?

The Aeon Nimbus macro model portfolio is a dynamic, regime-driven allocation framework. It adjusts weights across equities, fixed income, gold, commodities, and cash based on the prevailing macro regime — including inflation trajectory, central bank policy stance, credit cycle position, and geopolitical risk level. It has returned +28.4% since inception and is a research vehicle, not a live fund.

Who is the target audience for Aeon Nimbus Research?

Aeon Nimbus Research is designed for individual investors who want to see how a professional constructs and tracks investment theses with full transparency; finance students and CFA candidates studying fundamental equity analysis and macro research methodology; family offices and allocators evaluating independent research talent with a verified, pre-outcome track record; and quantitative researchers interested in systematic strategy construction across equity and FX markets.

Is there a Q2 2026 investor letter from Aeon Nimbus Research?

Yes. The Q2 2026 investor letter is available as a PDF download on aeonnimbus.com. It covers the closed positions from Q2 2026, the investment philosophy, methodology, and outlook for open positions.

How I Build an Investment Thesis

01 · SCREENING
Macro-first, then single-stock

Every idea starts with a macro read: what is the prevailing regime, where is the central bank in its cycle, and which sectors benefit from or are exposed to the current geopolitical configuration. Only then do I screen for single stocks within that macro frame — avoiding sector bets that fight the regime.

02 · FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Identify what the street is missing

I look for one key variable the consensus has mispriced: a structural inflection that hasn't yet shown up in earnings, a balance sheet item the market is treating incorrectly, or a demand driver that sell-side models have not incorporated. Each call requires a specific, falsifiable thesis — not directional sentiment.

03 · POSITION CONSTRUCTION
Size, stop, and time horizon first

Before publishing, I set three parameters: position size as % of portfolio (typically 3–10%), a hard stop-loss at the level that would invalidate the thesis, and an investment horizon (not a price target timeline). Sizing is driven by conviction and correlation — I will not concentrate across correlated names.

04 · PRE-OUTCOME PUBLICATION
The record is written before the result

Every call is published on Substack and recorded on aeonnimbus.com with a timestamp before the market closes on the entry date. The full thesis, entry price, stop-loss, and size are all visible before the outcome is known. Nothing is retroactively edited or deleted — the record stands permanently regardless of result.

05 · SYSTEMATIC OVERLAY
Quantitative signals as a second opinion

Discretionary calls are stress-tested against the 12 systematic strategies running in parallel. If the quant models flatly contradict a discretionary thesis, I either reduce size or re-examine my fundamental assumptions. The systematic portfolio is not a replacement for fundamental thinking — it is a check on behavioural bias and timing.

06 · EXIT DISCIPLINE
Rules-based, not emotional

Positions are closed when: the stop-loss is triggered, the original thesis is invalidated by new data, a better risk-adjusted opportunity presents itself, or the position reaches a point where continued holding requires a new thesis rather than the original one. Hitting a price target is not automatically a close trigger — the thesis must be reassessed at every major inflection.

ADEA · Adeia Inc. — Published 4 May 2026, closed 4 Aug 2026 at $31.44 (entry $30.00). Thesis partially played out — licensing renewals confirmed but at a slower cadence than modelled. Position exited when the original 12-month thesis no longer justified continued holding at the new risk/reward. The floor of the track record is a positive return, not a loss — but it is recorded and disclosed without qualification.
Floor of track record
Footnotes
  1. 1 S&P 500 index (^GSPC) daily closes, price return (dividends excluded). For each closed call the benchmark is measured over that call's own window: close on or before the publish date to close on or before the exit date.
  2. 2 Hit rate = closed positions with a positive return ÷ total closed positions.
  3. 3 Simple (unweighted) averages across closed calls. Alpha = average of (call return − S&P 500 return over the same holding period). Not a TWRR or portfolio-level return.
  4. 4 Weighted by published position size: each call's return × its published size as % of AUM, summed across all closed calls. Simulated on a hypothetical AUM — not a live fund.
  5. 5 S&P 500 price return from the first call's publish date to the latest close. Displayed for context only; not comparable to per-call returns.
  6. 6 Worst closed call by return. The floor is a gain, not a loss. The track record includes no losing closed positions as of September 2026.
  7. 7 Approximate average time from publication date to exit date across 9 closed calls. Ranges from 7 days (RDDT) to ~3 months (ADEA).
  8. 8 All calls published on Substack with full thesis, entry price, stop-loss, position size, and horizon before the position is exited. Timestamped and permanently on record.

Methodology & Disclosures

Methodology: Every call is published on Substack with entry price, stop-loss, position size, and full thesis — before the outcome is known. Returns are calculated from the published entry price to exit price. Open P&L uses live prices. S&P 500 benchmark starts from 08 Apr 2026, the date of the first call. All positions, including losses, remain on the record and are never edited or deleted.

⚠  A 100% hit rate carries a caveat: nine trades closed, none reaching a full stop-loss trigger. The worst closed call returned +4.8% (ADEA), which means the track record floor is positive — but the streak has not yet been tested by a realised loss. Treat this as a live, transparent starting point — not a mature track record.

Kelly Criterion · Fixed-risk (1R) · Conviction-weighted — the skill that separates analysts from PMs
PM Skill⬡ GitHubtests

How much capital you allocate to each idea is as important as the idea itself. This tool implements three methods used by professional PMs. Full Kelly maximises theoretical log-wealth; modified Kelly (½ or ¼) controls for estimation error. Fixed-risk anchors size to your stop-loss distance. Conviction-weighted blends both.

Cross-Asset Correlation & Macro Regime
Correlation matrix · Regime classifier · Regime-driven allocation framework
PM Skill⬡ GitHubtests

Understanding what actually diversifies your portfolio — and what is merely uncorrelated on average but highly correlated in drawdowns — is the core risk skill of a portfolio manager. During risk-off events, correlations spike toward 1.0 across equities and collapse for UST and gold.

■ Strong positive correlation (risk concentration, not diversification) · ■ Negative correlation (genuine diversification benefit) · Data: rolling 3Y historical estimates

Enter current macro indicators to classify the regime and see the historically optimal allocation framework for that regime. This is the systematic macro lens that underlies every allocation decision.

Quantitative Strategies

Sixteen proprietary systematic strategies across equities, FX, commodities and equity indices — built to trade, not open-sourced. Backtested on 99–100% real tick data across 12+ years of full market cycles. Full methodology available to qualified allocators on request.

Annualised Sharpe (CAGR ÷ volatility, the same calculation for every suite) against maximum drawdown. Up and to the left is better. Hover a point for details; click to open its suite.

Backtests only. Suites differ in period (Equity 2006–2026, FX 2007–2026, Tenkai 2020–2026), data source and sizing, so compare within a suite before comparing across suites. Low drawdown with low CAGR (Tenkai) and high CAGR with deep drawdowns (Typhon, Erebus) are different risk profiles, not better or worse ones. The MT5 reports print a per-trade Sharpe (1.88–3.86) that is not comparable with annualised figures; it is shown in each tooltip and card.

How the strategies move together · monthly return correlation
Correlation of monthly returns for the eight strategies with published trade data, each pair over the months both were live. Near 0 means the two add diversification; toward +1 means they tend to win and lose together.

Out-of-sample check · 70 / 30 chronological split

Each backtest split by trade order: the first 70% of trades against the last 30%. Profit factor and win rate don't depend on account size, so the two segments compare directly. A strategy fitted to noise usually falls apart in the later segment.

This is a hold-out stability check on the published run, not a walk-forward optimisation: it shows whether the edge persisted into the most recent period, not how the parameters were chosen. 50/50 and 80/20 splits are in each strategy's dashboard.

Trading costs in these results
  • Spread: paid on every trade. Fills use the real historical bid/ask ticks, so the spread is the one quoted at the time of each trade.
  • Commission: €0 in every report (a spread-only account model). On a raw-spread account that charges commission per lot, results would be lower.
  • Swap / financing: included as charged. Net over the full test: USD/JPY €+14, XAU/USD €+0, EUR/JPY €-12, GBP/USD €+0, EUR/USD €-3.
  • Slippage: no extra slippage is added beyond the tick-by-tick fills.

How to read these metrics
LR correlation — correlation between the equity curve and its straight-line (linear regression) fit; 1.0 means perfectly steady growth.
Recovery factor — net profit ÷ maximum drawdown; how many times over the strategy earned back its worst drawdown.
Profit factor — gross profit ÷ gross loss.
Max DD (relative) — largest peak-to-trough fall as a percentage of the equity peak.
Tick quality — share of the backtest driven by real historical ticks rather than modelled prices.
Tables use Sharpe = CAGR ÷ annualised volatility of monthly returns, the same basis as the Equity suite; the cards show the per-trade Sharpe printed in each MT5 report. All figures are backtests under the fixed-% risk sizing described below, not live trading results.

CAGR, Sharpe, Max DD and Vol are on the same basis as the Equity table: Sharpe = CAGR ÷ annualised volatility of monthly returns. Sharpe (MT5) is the figure printed in the Strategy Tester report; it is computed per trade and is not comparable with annualised Sharpe ratios.

Annual returns · Tenkai

Calendar-year return of each strategy, compounded from its monthly returns. Blue is a gain, red a loss; the right-hand column counts profitable years.

* Partial year (2026 through Aug; 2026 through Mar). Early years compound on a small starting balance, so their percentages run higher than later years under the same fixed-% risk.

Out-of-sample check · 70 / 30 chronological split

Each backtest split by trade order: the first 70% of trades against the last 30%. Profit factor and win rate don't depend on account size, so the two segments compare directly. A strategy fitted to noise usually falls apart in the later segment.

MarketTrades (first / last)Profit FactorWin RateMax DDLast 30%
NAS 100156 / 671.33 → 2.1652.6% → 64.2%7.6% → 4.2%✓ Profitable

XAU / USD (Tenkai)114 / 491.78 → 1.3462.3% → 55.1%3.0% → 4.0%✓ Profitable

This is a hold-out stability check on the published run, not a walk-forward optimisation: it shows whether the edge persisted into the most recent period, not how the parameters were chosen. 50/50 and 80/20 splits are in each strategy's dashboard.

Trading costs in these results
  • Spread: paid on every trade. Fills use the real historical bid/ask ticks, so the spread is the one quoted at the time of each trade.
  • Commission: €0 in every report (a spread-only account model). On a raw-spread account that charges commission per lot, results would be lower.
  • Swap / financing: included as charged. Net over the full test: NAS 100 €-607, SP 500 €+169, XAU (Tenkai) €-1,098.
  • Slippage: no extra slippage is added beyond the tick-by-tick fills.

Highest MT5 Sharpe of the Tenkai suite, with a shorter and smaller sample than the FX suite — reflecting the strategy's more selective trade frequency on a single high-beta index. Recovery Factor above 5× indicates drawdowns are recouped quickly relative to strategy tenor.

Equity Curve · 2020–2026 (actual)
Lowest drawdown and highest win rate across both the FX and Tenkai suites, at the cost of a shorter track record and smaller trade sample than the flagship gold strategy above. Distinct signal logic from the primary XAU/USD mean-reversion model — not a variant of it.
