Independent Economic and Investment Strategy Research
A coherent global view from diverse thought leaders. We take an eclectic approach to arrive at a coherent global view. Our strong, independent thinkers scan the horizon in different ways to identify and explore possible inflection points and emergent themes. Deep country knowledge and historical perspective are core to our process. Our thought leaders, global economists and country specialists come together to choose the right tools with which to explore the implications for individual countries and financial markets. The key to our approach is that we are led by the theme, not the tool. Request a trial to see our approach in action.
30 year track record. We have a 30 year track record in making bold, off consensus-calls at major inflection points in economic, political and market cycles. For example, building on our global macro and financial analysis to find imbalances and fragilities, we identified the coming storm of the Global Financial Crisis – identifying the crucial turning point in the cycle and calling the stock market bottom as recovery began.

The Vaccine Matrix: Winners and losers
What does the great rotation mean for countries’ economies? Is it simply a case that those most affected by the virus will also recovery the most? This is not simply a case of mean-reversion. Take Mexico for example: hurting from a 10% growth contraction ytd, and with poor existing COVID infrastructure, the vaccine could bring much-needed relief.

QE Nuclear Options
The IMF says the world is in a “liquidity trap” and fiscal policy is the way out. Yet, if governments will not do provide the necessary stimulus, central banks are not totally out of ammunition. They could engage in quasi-fiscal operations, using their balance sheets creatively and destroying their equity. We look at their options, including dual interest rates and digital cash transfers.

RCEP - Asia First
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) – the newly agreed Indo-Pacific FTA– will firmly anchor trade and standard-setting power in East Asia. The 15 member countries account for 42% of global manufacturing value added and 30% of GDP. Though less ambitious than other recently concluded FTAs, RCEP is a significant improvement on current rules governing regional trade and investment.
