Create a Monitor

Thesis signpost alerts and value-chain monitoring

Monitor key developments and thesis signposts to stay ahead of critical market shifts and company-specific events. Portrait continuously scans filings, transcripts, and news to surface targeted, context-rich alerts that confirm or challenge your thesis.

You can also generate 90-day summaries that distill the most relevant datapoints and developments shaping your investment thesis.

There are several ways to create a Monitor

  • Select an auto-generated Monitor based on a company
  • Select an auto-generated Monitor based on a thesis
  • Enter KPIs, industry trends, or themes relevant to your thesis you want to track
