Your Macro Compass Starts Here
After years building portfolios for private clients, I started publishing my process so self-directed investors could use institutional-grade work without the noise.
Hi. I’m Vasco Freitas, investor, founder of VMF Research and VMF’s MarketView.
After years building portfolios for private clients, I started publishing my process so self-directed investors could use institutional-grade work without the noise.
I recently created VMF’s Market View, a free resource, where I explain what actually matters in markets right now and how I’m acting on it. Long-form, properly framed excerpts from what we publish behind the paywall at VMF Research.
You’ll be able to judge the quality for yourself. No paraphrasing. No adaptations. Just a clear window into the work.

Our Three-Tiered Value Proposition
Subscribing to VMF Research doesn’t merely give you access to our market insights and carefully curated model portfolios... it marks the beginning of a comprehensive educational journey that illuminates the rationale behind every recommendation.
Everything is evidence-based, fully transparent, and designed to be executed by a regular brokerage account. (Standard note: this is general information, not personal advice.)
Each tier has a benchmark and a documented process, because saying “up” isn’t the same as proving “better per unit of risk.”
Our services are thoughtfully segmented into three distinct, yet interconnected, tiers, each meticulously designed to concentrate on a vital aspect of investment strategy.
Choose your edge:
The Alpha Tier: Our highest conviction. Unlocks tactical trading ideas, market-timing strategies, and full access to both Tiers 1 and 2.
Tier Two: Security Selection: The “What to Buy.” High-conviction model portfolios focused on Value, Quality, and secular themes like the tokenization boom.
Tier One: Strategic Asset Allocation: The “Big Picture.” 12 monthly issues mastering the macro rotations that actually move the needle.
We’re dedicated to elevating your financial acumen, transforming you into a savvy, self-reliant investor. Stop guessing. Start investing with an evidence-based process.
