Harbinger: a person or thing that comes before to give an indication of what follows, or to announce the approach of a change.

Harbinger Capital Markets Research chose the dragonfly as our standard. Why? According to the Kodansha Encyclopedia of Japan, which covers the nation's culture, the dragonfly was believed in ancient mythology to be the spirit of the rice plant and a "harbinger of rich harvests". It was also the symbol of the power of the Yamoto court in the eighth century. We felt that it was a fitting allegory for what we do, which is to provide Capital Market Strategy to institutional investors and corporations so that they can make better investment decisions.

We believe that with better data, our clients will make decisions that generate prosperity.
