Who we are
Ingham Analytics is financial markets and advisory house with a proven track record of independent analysis and impartial advice internationally. The business is non-aligned and has no potentially conflicting activities.
We provide analysis on corporate actions such as mergers & acquisitions, new listings, and equity and debt issuance. Circulars and prospectuses are typically dense, wordy, and laced with jargon that few understand. We cut through that to give a succinct analysis of a corporate action, what the financial effect is, and what we think you as an investor should do.
The advent of MiFID II in the EU in 2018 has made an independent research and advisory offering particularly pertinent. These tougher MiFID II rules require fund managers to pay for analyst research and insights separately to trading fees. The change restricts inducements and prevents conflicts of interest. Ethical considerations, as championed by the CFA Institute and other professional bodies, further strengthens the appeal of impartiality for investor protection. But we go the final mile – everyone is welcome, not just an elitist few.
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” — Benjamin Franklin
Are you looking for seasoned, no-nonsense advice?
Perhaps wondering what to buy or sell across different securities? Or maybe seeking a better understanding in these confusing and volatile times? Or maybe just an ironic, entertaining yet discerning observation on the passing scene, as we communicate in our popular wrap of the week on Sunday?
Then welcome to Ingham Analytics, you’ll feel right at home. Our approach is less is more, you won’t be deluged with vacuous stuff, there is enough of that about, but what we send out we think you’ll want to have in your decision-making arsenal.

It’s the Olympic Games – is bronze the true gold?
Our weekly Sunday Letter.
It is just over a week since the start of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. That ‘2020’ in the middle of the year 2021 is symbolic of a pandemic eighteen months.
The Macro View – “Gold isn’t half bad”
Gold, that barbarous relic, is faced with impossible demands or expectations that it can’t possibly fulfil all at once and yet there remains an enduring fascination, be that for jewellery or as an investment asset class.
Prosus/Naspers – “Delusions of grandeur?”
There’s been a school of thought, probably the dominant one, at least in South Africa, for some years, that Naspers was a “cheap” entry into Tencent.
Tencent – “A Beijing ignited fire sale?”
Top Asia story is China regulation. The technology-sector regulator for example has ordered Chinese internet firms to curtail what are seen as anticompetitive practices and data security threats.
The Macro View – “When pledge isn’t a polish”
Pledging high-quality assets as collateral when undertaking financial transactions is the bedrock of a modern financial system.

Want a taste before signing up?
We have built a good following and want to grow that but we are also mindful that there will be people who haven’t come across us and want to validate who and what we are first.
We are putting together an archive of free notes for you to explore and get a taste of the value we strive to impart.
Robbing from the rich to give to the poor, Robin Hood is our newsworthy deal of the week.
Cabin fever is the theme for us this Sunday. That is, when it comes to the psychosis that is stock market behaviour in the US.
South African bond yields – COVID-19 infected?
Holdings of ZAR denominated debt by foreigners has fallen to 30% overall from around 42% in 2018. Even before COVID-19 foreigners could see South Africa as a rising sovereign risk.
The office circa 1990 and just maybe in the future too
This week we’re taking a look at business travel, down but hopefully not out in future, commercial property trusts, an alternative to Volkswagen ordinary shares…
