We have repeatedly initiated studies and projects in our team, which mainly came about through valuable suggestions from our clients. Such input often makes it even clearer to a researcher as to what content is of interest or how the presentation can be optimised. Furthermore, a 'product' that has been developed through exchange with the client ensures that we as researchers are on the right track with our services.

Our Research Mindset

Creating a well-founded data base, providing clients and colleagues with specialist input and market strategies requires more than an analytic mind.

Our top performance is defined as substantiated forecasts, our own positions beyond the mainstream, exciting ideas for reports and new and diversified perspectives. It is shaped by:

  • A group of experts around a table, confering

    Cosmopolitanism

    In our analyses, we take off our "German glasses", change our views in different scenarios and adopt new perspectives. It is important to take local and cultural particularities into account, whether when looking at individual markets, talking to clients or during meetings in the respective country.

  • The image depicts a professional business setting. Two men are seated around a modern white table, engaged in a conversation or discussion. Both are dressed in formal business attire - suits, suggesting a business or official meeting. One of them is holding a document, possibly reviewing or explaining it to the other. The environment is characterized by its contemporary design, with large, transparent glass windows allowing natural light to flood the space. This provides a view of the urban landscape outside, possibly indicating an office in a city. There are green plants, one of which is evident in the foreground to the left and another hanging from the ceiling towards the right, adding a touch of nature to the modern setting. Nearby on the table is an open laptop, underscoring the digital, connected nature of today's business workflows. Overall, the image communicates themes of professionalism, engagement, and a blend of nature within a modern, urban office space.

    Partnership

    Partnership defines our ethos; team performance, diversity of thought, collaborative problem-solving, and trust in individual expertise drive our success. This extends to our customer relationships; we prioritize open dialogue, mutual exchange, and deeply value our clients' needs, shaping our services and actions accordingly.

    Innovation

    Discovering and trying out new things, always looking for the perfect solution: we strive to optimise services for our customers, to continuously develop analytical methods and to streamline our processes.We use the possibilities offered by digitalisation in analysis, publication production and distribution.

  • The image shows two men standing indoors near shelves filled with plants, engaged in conversation. The setting appears to be a plant nursery or a botanical shop. They seem to be discussing or examining the plant arrangements.

    Sustainability

    Sustainability shapes our entire analysis. We therefore place great emphasis on continuity in coverage and at the same time strive to make dynamic adjustments to our research universe in order to meet the needs of our internal and external clients, private clients and cooperative banks alike.

    Performance

    Albeit having brilliant specialists in their own right on board, we can only develop our full potential when we work as a team. We appreciatemcooperation, interaction and exchange; the serve and the return. Furthermore, we rely on our clients’ feedbacks, continue to undergo further training and are open to new ideas.

  • The image shows two people sitting at a desk in a modern office setting. One of them is gesturing with their hands, possibly explaining something or engaging in a discussion. There are laptops and a notebook visible on the table, indicating a business or professional meeting. The office has large windows with natural light coming in.

    Courage

    We courageously express our opinions, even if they are critical or challenge established practices. This, at times, means swimming against the tide, listening to outsider opinions and integrating them into an overall picture, choosing innovative approaches to new topics and revising opinions if necessary.

  • The image depicts a busy indoor setting, possibly a station foyer or the lobby of a large building, filled with numerous people walking in different directions. The photograph captures motion blur, suggesting rapid movement or a slow shutter speed of the camera. Most individuals are dressed in business attire, hinting at a corporate environment or commuter area during a busy time. Visible glass structures, such as doors or partitions, add to the modern architectural aesthetics of the setting.

    Consistency

    For us, consistency goes hand in hand with courage. When the environment in which we have built our overall picture of economic trends and developments in the financial markets changes, it takes courage and consistency to react to it, to act and to change opinions and forecasts, to gain experience and draw best conclusions.

Describing DZ BANK Research as classic "research" does not quite capture the essence of our work; it is more a recurring process of exploring and searching. The object of our research, the capital markets, is subject to constant change, and so too are the topic areas and approaches to analysis. In short: research is like chess, only WITH dice.
