The next generation of independent investment research.
Our Process
“As investors, we should consciously choose our narratives and test them against the hard surfaces of data, being careful not to fool ourselves.”
— Warren Pies, Oil: What story do you tell yourself?
At 3Fourteen Research, we combine expert qualitative insights with true quantitative discipline. Expertise drives our curiosity, but data and quantitative rigor keep us grounded.

Real Asset Allocation
Secular Thesis
No interest rates = no opportunity costs…A secular rotation into real assets has begun.
Diversification
Adding real assets to a traditional portfolio cuts market beta in half (compared to 60/40).
Sophisticated Framework
Our Real Asset Allocation Model combines proprietary trend following, ML, and hierarchical risk parity to find the right asset mix, determine stop losses and mitigate risk.
