Growth and demand
Examine activity, inflation, corporate earnings, and the balance between consumer and business demand.
Our approach
Read the cycle around every investment
Rifstone Capital's macroeconomic research connects growth, credit, interest rates, liquidity, and policy with company analysis and global portfolio decisions.
A dual-track perspective
Micro fundamentals meet global macro cycles
Company financials and industry development explain one part of an investment. Growth, credit availability, interest rates, currencies, and liquidity help explain the environment in which that business operates.
Rifstone connects these two perspectives to study how a market regime can influence earnings, financing, valuation, and the timing of investment opportunities.
Cycle indicators
Follow the transmission from economy to portfolio
Credit and liquidity
Study lending conditions, funding costs, refinancing needs, and the availability of market liquidity.
Rates, policy, and currencies
Connect monetary and fiscal decisions with exchange rates and international investment conditions.
Geopolitical and industry change
Assess how trade, energy, supply chains, and regional developments can alter the investment landscape.
Allocation decisions
Use scenarios to frame changing conditions
Scenario research considers several paths for growth, rates, and financing conditions. Comparing their effects on sectors, regions, and portfolio liquidity helps make the cycle analysis relevant to asset allocation.
