SQM Research is a financial services firm that provides investment research, ratings and data to financial institutions and the broader community. Founded in 2006 by Louis Christopher, it began with property analytics and property fund ratings and has since expanded to cover multiple asset classes. It runs two core offerings: Fund Ratings, which provides qualitative star ratings across a broad range of investment vehicles and includes underlying quantitative data for funds, direct equities and other Australian investment structures. The second offering, Residential Property Market Data and Research, delivers comprehensive property data, automated valuations and market insights for institutions, corporates and individuals. Headquartered in North Sydney, the company serves clients across the Australian market with independent, data-driven analysis. A notable development in 2023 was the introduction of Shares Professional, a ratings service for ASX 200 companies aimed at the Australian financial advice community.
