Our Experience
Our track record is defined by identifying structural turning points in the global economy ahead of market pivots:
- 1987: Identified the crash as a market discounting of policy-induced recession.
- 1990: Diagnosed a steeper Bund curve and the DAX crash as discounting of a fiscal-monetary wedge.
- 2008: Linked US housing liquidity to the global shipping bubble before the collapse.
- 2009: Associated the recovery of shipping with the post-GFC time-inconsistent policy (U-turn).
- 2017: Renewed US fiscal-monetary wedge, amplified after Covid, pulls the economy apart.
- 2024: Mapping the fragmentation of global trade as the new driver of asset volatility.
