Our research team scours the global economy for new macro themes and then explains how they impact individual countries and global markets. At TS Lombard, it’s in our nature to question things and look for those places where risk and opportunity are mispriced. Once we identify a macro theme, it is explored as a Key Theme and created on our Research Hub. Key Themes are accessible only to clients or those participating in an official trial evaluation of our research.
We join the dots and provide coverage relevant to the themes across our services: Global Macro, Global Strategy and China & Global Emerging Markets. A recent example of our thematic research is our Global Fractures series. In it we cover the fracturing of the global economy into regional trading blocs and what that means for the global economy and financial markets. Other ongoing themes include Decarbonomics, the post-Covid inflation risk, and how ESG is driving portfolio flows.
Our macro thematic research explores long term trends that are already changing the global economy and just beginning to be priced into financial markets. We find interlinkages across asset classes and geographies resulting in clear thematic strategies. We identify these strategies and give investment recommendations to help our clients stay ahead of the market.
