- Practical Advice:
While we use sophisticated algorithms & control theory in our integrated macro-geopolitical-industry-financial models to provide a deep understanding of markets, we present strategic binary breakdowns of options resulting from structural changes, such as:
- Is the fiscal-monetary policy wedge widening or narrowing?
- Does this require a shift in asset allocation, hedging or investment strategy?
- What degree (%) should we invest in each asset class?
- What probability (%) do we assign to each scenario? - Strategic Asset Allocation: Identify turning points for buying & selling assets (tangible & intangible), and the cost of capital. Identify changes in a market from the financialization of asset classes.
- Optimal Policy Path Analysis: Advise clients on how governments should & will likely react to the Twin-Deficit according to stated optimal policy objectives, and associated risks.
- Interdisciplinary Risk Assessment: Due to our unique methodology of fusing macro-housing-financial-shipping cycles and monetary policy, we convey a unified risk analysis.
- Executive Mentorship/Training: Transitioning the focus of senior leadership from product-commissions to relationship-driven, macro-strategic thinking.
We utilize Nash and Pareto equilibrium models to determine whether international actors (US, China, EU, Japan, BRICS) are moving toward competition or cooperation. This allows us to predict shifts in:
- The Cost of Capital: For e.g. Driven by the Twin Deficits and reshoring initiatives.
- Asset Valuations: For e.g. Influenced by the weaponization of energy and resource security.
- Geopolitical Stress Testing: Evaluate how Trade Wars or Reshoring impact specific supply chains, trade, asset classes, reshape trade patterns & alliances between Advanced & Emerging Economies (AE-EE).
- Trade arbitrage: Assess the factors, identify the range of prices & impact on a sector.
