Fundamental research
[Edit]Fundamental research is the process of determining factual information about an investment. This contrasts with technical research, where the research is statistical and based on past performance and the performance of competitors.
In the context of an equity, examples of fundamental research include:
- Examining the financial statements
- Speaking to the company's board
- Analysing market share and competitors
- Strategic forecasting, e.g. determining likely mergers or acquisitions


Hi all,
I have an assessment with Futex Limited(a Futures trading company) on Saturday. The test will cover Mathematics, Non Verbal Reasoning, Occupational and financial questions. Has anyone ever done the test? What kind of questions can I expect?
