About Us
The Vishni Advisory LLC is a Delaware- domiciled boutique advisory focusing on Emerging Markets (primarily their economies but, also, inevitably their politics too) and catering to institutional investors all over the world.
We pride ourselves on our independence of thought: just because there’s a particular view gaining popularity on Bloomberg, CNBC, etc., we don’t play it safe and jump on the bandwagon. We often take contrarian views, the difference being that our views are driven by economic factors as much as ethical factors, which is why we don’t recommend investing in China and other countries with questionable human rights records. Ultimately, the markets might be amoral but we’re not.
What differentiates us from our larger and more illustrious competitors is the fact that we carry out our research from a particular country, not from a desk on Wall Street. Our research is expansive as it’s deep: we raise issues with the local academics, journalists, fund managers, investment advisors and, of course, the blue collar lay person (everyone from taxi drivers to bar tenders and waiters to retail sector sales staff). We believe it’s the mood of the blue collar workforce (and, to a lesser extent, the white collar managerial workforce) that gives a true indication of the state of a country’s economy. We take, with a pinch of salt, statistics and commentaries released by governments and government-affiliated bodies.
