TownHall Investment Research's approach is to analyze the wireless and digital communications sectors from the buyer's point of view. Most of the firm's experts participate in some element of buying or selling decisions which gives the firm insight into buyer behavior. Town Hall Investment Research then applies their analytical experience to drilling down on individual companies to determine the investment relevance and the timing of impact from the changes. While their strategy is driven by thematic changes, data flow from their industry experts enables them to forecast the shorter-term timing and severity of the change. Town Hall Investment Research builds financial models to understand the investment impact of their experts' input. The core element of their strategy is ROE because it correlates well with valuation and business model sustainability.
