What kinds of decisions does a memo cover?
A market call, a manager selection, a sector or security view, or a private deal. One consequential decision at a time.
A decision memo on a single market, manager, sector, security or private deal: a clear thesis, the real risks, the assumptions that matter and a firm recommendation.
Pickel Fintech writes independent investment decision memos, one high-stakes call at a time. The output is a written memo that cuts through the noise: a clear thesis, the real risks, the assumptions that drive the outcome and the data behind them, ending in a firm recommendation and the next move. The work is done by Tom Pickel, CAIA.

Yes. Every memo ends in a firm recommendation and a next move, not a neutral list of considerations.
