Built for how Australians actually invest
Local menus mix ASX-listed ETFs (for example broad Australian equity, global equity, and diversified growth funds) with US-listed ETFs on platforms like Stake and IBKR. Cognitor’s weekly dossier analyses a fixed set of US-listed tickers — the same names that often sit inside global equity sleeves, either directly or by analogy.
SMSF trustees can use structured weekly research as part of documenting strategy and review — not as a substitute for licensed SMSF advice.
Super accumulation still benefits from understanding macro, EM flows, and rates on the ETFs that drive offshore equity exposure.
FIRE-focused investors get a Friday anchor: same process as US users — Pro sees briefings and Mon–Thu daily podcasts same day; Free follows on a staggered schedule.
Your research layer: Panel, SENIOR, PRIME
One auditable protocol each week. You read the dossier; you trade on your Australian broker.
Layer 1 — Panel
Six specialists (macro, tech & risk, geopolitics, emerging markets, fundamentals, market psychology) evaluate the weekly scenario against the same 40 US-listed ETFs independently. Each week, SENIOR focuses on the tickers most relevant for that scenario.
Layer 2 — SENIOR
Five independent verdict pipelines review the Panel output for the week's selected ETFs. Agreement and disagreement are both visible.
Layer 3 — PRIME
Fixed-protocol synthesis for that edition: consensus, divergence map, risk flags. Comparable week to week so you can track how the narrative moves.
