AI Research Assistant for Private Investors

Clarify investment risks using AI insights — Rethovarnel

Organise your investment research, examine your assumptions, compare scenarios and build a clearer picture of your portfolio as a connected whole — before you make any decision. No trades executed. No advice given. Just sharper thinking, on your terms.

Connected portfolio context

Connected portfolio context

Ask a question about one holding and the assistant draws on the rest of your portfolio to give you a fuller answer. It tracks how positions relate to one another, flags where concentration may be building, and helps you think about each decision in the context of the whole — not as a standalone call.

Structured research workspace

Structured research workspace

Your research accumulates in an organised workspace where earlier notes, comparisons and scenario analyses remain accessible. You can revisit a thesis, track how your thinking has evolved, and build on previous work rather than repeating it. Every session adds to a coherent body of research that is genuinely yours.

Assumption and risk examination

Assumption and risk examination

The assistant is designed to ask the questions you might not think to ask yourself. It identifies the key assumptions behind a position, probes where they might be weak, and helps you think through the conditions under which your thesis would break down — before you are invested, not after.

What clearer research actually gives you

A portfolio that makes sense as a whole

Individual holdings do not exist in isolation. The assistant helps you see how your positions relate to one another — shared exposures, overlapping assumptions, and concentration you may not have noticed — so your portfolio reflects deliberate choices rather than accumulated ones.

Assumptions brought into the open

Every investment thesis rests on beliefs you may not have written down. The assistant surfaces those beliefs, asks you to examine them, and helps you understand which ones are doing the most work — and which are most vulnerable to being wrong.

Structured scenario thinking

Rather than imagining a single future, the assistant helps you map several: what happens to your thesis if conditions improve, deteriorate, or move sideways? Comparing outcomes side by side makes the stakes of each decision far easier to reason about.

Signals worth noticing, not just volume

Financial news is relentless. The assistant helps you distinguish developments that are genuinely relevant to your holdings from those that are simply loud — so your attention goes where it matters rather than where it is most easily grabbed.

Research you can return to

Good investment thinking builds over time. The assistant helps you organise your research so that earlier analysis informs later decisions, your reasoning is traceable, and you are not starting from scratch every time a question resurfaces.

Confidence that comes from understanding

The goal is not certainty — markets do not offer that. The goal is a well-examined view that you can hold with conviction, adjust when evidence changes, and explain to yourself clearly. That kind of confidence is earned through process, and the assistant is built to support it.

Research built around how you actually think

Most private investors have access to more information than ever before, yet the gap between raw data and a confident, well-reasoned decision has never felt wider. Market commentary arrives in waves, company filings pile up, and the connections between one holding and another remain frustratingly invisible. this research tool was built to close that gap — not by making decisions for you, but by making your own thinking more rigorous and more organised.

The assistant works across the full arc of investment research: gathering relevant context, helping you articulate what you already believe, identifying where those beliefs might be fragile, and mapping how a single development could ripple across your wider portfolio. It does not execute trades, manage money or provide regulated financial advice. What it does is give you a disciplined space to think, question and prepare — so that when you do act, you do so with greater clarity.

Whether you are reviewing a company's latest results, stress-testing a thesis against an adverse scenario, or simply trying to understand why two of your holdings tend to move together, the assistant meets you where you are. It adapts to the depth of your question and the breadth of your portfolio, treating your research as a coherent body of work rather than a series of disconnected queries.

Research built around how you actually think

From question to considered view in three steps

1

Bring your question or position

Start with whatever is on your mind — a company you are researching, a macro development you want to think through, or a position you are reconsidering. The assistant meets you at the level of your question, whether it is broad and exploratory or specific and technical.

2

Work through the research together

The assistant helps you gather relevant context, organise what you already know, surface the assumptions embedded in your thinking, and compare different scenarios. It challenges you where your reasoning is thin and supports you where it is strong — all without steering you towards a particular conclusion.

3

Arrive at your own considered view

By the end of a session you have a clearer, better-examined position — one you have reached yourself. You can save your analysis, return to it later, and use it as the foundation for your next question. The decision remains entirely yours; the assistant simply makes it a more informed one.

How investors use it day to day

Preparing for a company earnings release

Before an earnings release, an investor uses the assistant to pull together everything relevant: the company's recent guidance, the sector backdrop, and how the position sits relative to other holdings in the same part of the portfolio. Rather than reacting to the headline number on the day, they arrive at the announcement with a clear framework — what they expected, why, and what would genuinely change their view versus what would simply be noise.

Pre-decision research

Reviewing portfolio exposure after a macro shift

When a significant macro development emerges — a shift in interest rate expectations, for instance — an investor asks the assistant to map which of their current positions are most sensitive to that change and in which direction. The assistant helps them think through second-order effects, challenge assumptions they had not realised they were making, and decide whether any part of their portfolio deserves a closer look. The result is a structured review rather than a reactive one.

Scenario and risk analysis

Evaluating a potential new holding

An investor is considering adding a new position and wants to understand how it would sit alongside what they already hold. They use the assistant to examine the company's fundamentals, compare it against peers, and think through how it would affect the overall shape of the portfolio — concentration, sector balance, and the assumptions that would need to hold for the thesis to work. By the end of the session they have a clear written summary of both the case for and the case against, entirely in their own words.

Questions investors ask before they start

Neither. The assistant is a research tool for private investors who want to think more clearly about their portfolios. It does not execute trades, manage money or provide regulated financial advice. If you need personalised financial advice, you should consult a qualified financial adviser. What the assistant does is help you organise your research, examine your assumptions and form a more independent view before you make your own decision.
The assistant is built for ordinary private investors who take their own investment decisions seriously and want a more rigorous process for doing so. You do not need to be a professional or have a finance background. You do need to be genuinely curious about your portfolio and willing to examine your own thinking — the assistant works best when you engage with it actively rather than looking for a simple answer.
Rather than treating each question in isolation, the assistant draws on the context of your wider portfolio when you work through a research session. It can help you identify where holdings share common assumptions, where sector or thematic concentration may be building, and how a single development might affect more than one position. This connected view is one of the core differences between using the assistant and simply searching for information independently.
No. The assistant is designed to help you reach your own considered view, not to direct you towards a particular action. It will help you think through the case for and against a position, surface risks you may not have considered, and compare different scenarios — but the conclusion is always yours. This is deliberate: the goal is to strengthen your independent thinking, not to replace it.
