The Independent Edge with Jeremie Boyer, Co-Founder and Lead Research Analyst at Aurelion Research

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jeremie Boyer, Co-Founder and Lead Research Analyst at Aurelion Research, for a conversation on what it looks like to build an independent research firm in your early twenties - and how staying outside traditional institutional constraints can be a genuine edge.

We break down his process for identifying ideas before the broader market catches on - from tracking global elections as a timing signal to uncovering shipping cycles that large funds won’t touch - and why he believes a simple, well-timed price target beats a full DCF model almost every time. We also get into why Aurelion keeps its portfolio concentrated but sector-diversified, what he learned from his early calls in oil tankers and Canadian consumer brands, and the internship pitch that didn’t land but set everything else in motion.
