Markets generate more noise than signal. Every morning, thousands of headlines compete for your attention, most of them recycled, hedged, or written to generate clicks rather than clarity.
We got tired of it. So we built something different.
Oxford Equity Research started as a question: could AI-assisted analysis, guided by people who actually understand markets, produce research that's genuinely useful to serious investors? Not summaries. Not sentiment trackers. Real analysis, with a point of view, delivered before the market opens.
Founder & Lead Economist
M.Phil Economics, University of Oxford. Former Head of Strategy at Hubert Burda Media and Looping Group. Founded and scaled MorningCrunch GmbH to 200,000+ subscribers. Gregor writes the Top of the Morning and signs off every briefing.
Equity Analyst
Jordan covers the pre-market movers and takes the bull side of every Debate. His conviction threshold is high — when Jordan says buy, we listen.
Macro Researcher
Jess brings the bear case. Every rally has a ceiling, every thesis has a flaw, and Jess finds it. She keeps the briefing honest.
Anyone can aggregate headlines. We tell you what we actually think — and we put our model portfolio on the line to prove it.
The Morning Brief takes five minutes. That is not a limitation. It is the entire point. If we cannot say it in five minutes, we have not thought about it hard enough.
Our analysis is AI-assisted, not AI-generated. The models surface data and draft structure. The judgments are ours. The mistakes are ours too.
Sarah K.
Private investor, New York
Finally a briefing with an actual opinion. Most finance newsletters just repeat the news. This one tells you what to do with it.
Marcus L.
Portfolio manager, London
The Debate section alone is worth it. Two smart people actually disagreeing, in writing, every day. Rare and valuable.
Julia B.
Founder, Berlin
I used to spend an hour every morning catching up on markets. Now five minutes and I know more than I did.
David C.
Angel investor, Amsterdam
The analysis is genuinely better than most human research I've paid for. And this is free.
Anna T.
Equity trader, Zurich
Sharp, fast, no filler. Exactly what I want before the market opens at 9am.
Robert H.
Finance director, Munich
The market snapshot table alone saves me 20 minutes every morning. I don't start my day without it.
Claire M.
Retired fund manager, Vienna
I forwarded issue 3 to my entire investment club. Everyone subscribed by end of day.
James O.
MBA student, Oxford
The Oxford voice makes it feel authoritative without being stuffy. Rare combination in finance writing.
Wei L.
Self-directed investor, Singapore
The alpha on the model portfolio is what got me. Hard to argue with +44 points over SPY.
Sophie R.
Tech entrepreneur, San Francisco
Best finance email in my inbox and it is completely free. I keep waiting for the catch.
Thomas N.
CFA, Frankfurt
Covering macro, individual stocks and a model portfolio in five minutes is genuinely impressive. The team clearly knows what matters.
Priya S.
VC analyst, London
The Debate format is addictive. I find myself picking a side before I finish reading, which means I am actually thinking about markets.
Henrik B.
Day trader, Stockholm
Pre-market movers with actual context. Not just numbers — someone telling me why. That is what I needed.
Elena V.
Economics PhD, Paris
Rigorous without being inaccessible. I recommend it to students who want to understand how markets actually work.
Michael A.
Family office, Dubai
The thematic portfolio briefing is what we use to sanity-check our own positioning. Surprisingly useful.
Yuki T.
Quant analyst, Tokyo
I was skeptical of AI-generated research. This changed my view. The macro analysis is consistently on point.
Fatima K.
Investment banker, Zurich
Sent this to my MD. He asked who wrote it. When I said it was AI-assisted he did not believe me.
Lars E.
Pension fund trustee, Oslo
We reference the weekly portfolio briefing in our own quarterly reviews. That tells you something.
Isabella C.
Financial journalist, Milan
Covers what I would cover if I had time. The Situational Awareness section is consistently the most interesting five items in my inbox.
Ryan P.
Retail investor, Chicago
I have tried every finance newsletter. This is the first one I have not unsubscribed from after a week.
