Independent ASX Equity Research for Australian Investors | Alpha Insights
Or maybe felt it before. That most of the research or investment recommendation services are not all there for you.
That the gurus providing their technical analysis on charts all too often, only parade their charting prowess on past winners, while convinently forgetting the loss-makers.
Or if the provider of stock research that you had subscribed to, seems more focused on upselling you to a higher 'premium' tier, instead of addressing whether their research was delivering in the first place.
If the broker research reports which are freely available for you to digest, whether the report was written with your interest at heart.
Or if those who have their interest 'aligned' with yours, whether they continue to hold the stock, or are quietly selling down first before announcing that the stock's rating has changed.
You may be frustrated that your performance, somehow never matches up to theirs. And you could start second-guessing their motives. You would most likely become very defensive. And start becoming very cynical and wary of any other research or investment services that follows after.
Frankly speaking, you are tired of having to put so much effort into discerning the good from the bad.
I built Alpha Insights for you.
My name is Ryan Lim. I spent 7 years as an institutional equity research analyst. I hold a Master's in Applied Finance from Macquarie University. I have navigated every major school of investing thought (technical, fundamental, and macro) and I can tell you from experience that most of what is sold to retail investors as "research" would not survive a single day of institutional scrutiny.
So I built something different. Alpha Insights is an investor-first equity research platform. 450+ ASX companies, fully modelled, with transparent assumptions you can challenge.
Furthermore, I do not own stocks. I do not manage money. I do not invest "alongside" you. I just analyse, as impartially as I know how, so you can make better decisions with your own capital.
I am one person, and this is my life's work.
When constructing this website for you, I had initially tried implementing a typical website structure. I followed the templates provided. I even tried to do a customised approach, based on my own ideas, in the hopes of delivering a well-curated marketing message.
But in the end, none of them truly felt right.
So, I'm going to do what I do best. And that is just to communicate directly with you through my writing. In my own voice.
After all, I'm the sole operatorm here. There is no committee, no editorial board, no marketing team. Just me, talking to you.

I built Alpha Insights for a specific kind of investor.
- You have been burned before, and are reluctant to trust another. Even when the work looks legitimate.
- You are drowned in surface-level, low-intelligent, content that wastes your time and mental energy. You are only after valued opinions. Someone who will tell you the truth even when it is uncomfortable.
- You have been through the charting phase, or the tip-following phase. None of it delivered what was promised.
- You want someone who is independent. Someone without an agenda. Someone who only has your sole interest in mind.
- You treat your investments with respect. Not as a hobby. Not as a gamble. And you want someone to do the same. You want genuine, transparent, analysis.
- You do not need hand-holding. You don't want pretencious opinions. You need tools, depth, and a second opinion you can trust.
The proof in the pudding.
Since October 2025, Alpha Insights top high-conviction buy signals generated a 0 compared to the ASX 200 benchmark's 0 over the exact same period, outperforming the index by nearly 0.
That is not all.
I also provide an overall market signal - sell, or not sell, which is just a reflection of my holistic view of the entire investing landscape.
A basic guidance system, yet incredibly effective to-date.
For example. On 30 October 2025, the market sell signal was activated, and deactivated in early December. Abiding by the market signal protected members against an up to ~6% loss in value.
On 27 January 2026, the market sell signal came back on. And remains on up till now (24 March 2026).
Not only were members notified of the weak market foundations, as showcased by the volatile February reporting season in 2026, they had inadverdently also sidestepped the entire fallout from the US/Israel v. Iranian conflict.
Protecting the downside through proactive risk management, for me, is equally, if not more important, than chasing stock ideas with massive upside.
A good offensive measure, is a strong defense.
Human psychology has a greater aversion for losses, vs gains.
And the fallout from a loss, also yields a greater mental response, be it stress, self-doubt, or fear.
Moreover, the lingering effects of these mental conditions, can also severely impede your ability to mainain composure, compsoure that is required in order to now position the portfolio for the recovery phase.
And lastly, based on a theorectical portfolio of a $100,000, a 6% ($6000) loss prevention between Oct to Dec last year, would have covered for Alpha Insights annual subscription for up to the next 12 years. This is before we even incorporate the capital loss prevention from the current sell signal.
One signal. One decision. A decade of membership paid for.
$6,000 protected = 12 years of membership

Tracked from Oct 14, 2025 to Mar 2, 2026 (100 trading days). 87 ASX 100 companies covered. All prices sourced from Bloomberg (adjusted for dividends and stock splits). Past performance is not indicative of future results.
The performance above, comes from the work of one person.
I say these things because if you are reading this far, you have probably been burned before. Your guard is up. The only way I can earn your attention is honesty.
Built with a Fundamentally different structure.
Everything I wish existed when I was investing on my own.
450+ ASX companies, each taken through an in-depth analysis process which amounts to over hundreds of pages, which is distilled into clear, actionable insights for you.
In respecting your time, we aim to deliver the key points, without the informational overload. Many have found that our company research pages are quick to digest, yet carries substantial density in analytics.
We are not simply a 2-page summary with a price target.
Before asking you for something, you should know why this exists.
One plan. Everything you need, included from day one.
Most ASX research services would charge you $800-$3,450/yr, and provide coverage on just a handful of companies. We cover 450+ companies with institutional-depth analysis for less than $1.37 per day.
And as mentioned before, the fees are kept as low as possible, to make Alpha Insights more accessible to as many people as possible. Your capital is precious, and every additional dollar you spend on a subscription, is a dollar not apart of your portfolio.
