Hi, I'm Ryan — founder of Alpha Insights.
Alpha Insights started in late 2024. It was an ambitious goal: to lift the standards, and accessibility, of high-quality, non-conflicting equity research for the Australian market.
The timing could not have been better, with the emergence of powerful AI models. Alpha Insights (AI) was built with the idea of leveraging, and heavily embedding, Artificial Intelligence (AI). A happy coincidence in name — but a deliberate choice in approach. Only by embracing AI was I able to level the playing field against incumbent operators in the space.
Drawing from my 7 years' experience as a fundamental equity research analyst, my education at RMIT (Economics & Finance) and Macquarie University (Applied Finance), and my own journey as a trader, I sought to develop a comprehensive investment framework with AI.
Since then, I'm now able to analyse and produce in-depth fundamental research reports across hundreds of companies. But the bigger question is: does my analysis deliver performance?
Performance
I'm in the process of live-testing my framework through the performance of a model portfolio. I decided against back-testing, as it would not be truly reflective of Alpha Insights. A ~300 stock portfolio was constructed with a simple strategy: positive analysis = long, negative = short.
Since October 2025, the portfolio has delivered ~9% in alpha versus the ASX 200.
We also run an optimised version of the portfolio, reducing the stock count to ~40 and improving performance. That portfolio has outperformed the ASX 200 by ~15% since inception (10 February 2026).
Let's hope this performance can be sustained at, and beyond, the 12-month mark.
