CMA Team of Researchers & Advisers

Team Experience

CMA senior experts have decades of experience in delivering economic insights to global investment institutions.

China Macro Advisory is founded by a group of China experts who have devoted themselves to providing strategic advice on China’s economy, politics and geopolitics. Our senior experts have decades of experience in delivering economic insights to global investment institutions. Having worked across different government departments and agencies in China, our researchers and advisers are equipped with unique understandings of how policies are made in China and how policies translate into opportunities for action. This nature differentiates us from a mere supplier of analytic reports; we are a provider of primary source insight that is highly valuable and trusted.

China Macro Advisory focuses strictly on macroeconomic policies, commodities and geopolitics. We do not cover issues of individual companies or securities, nor do we promote, lobby or execute trades. Our insight always covers what will happen rather than what has happened. Our products are at all times forward-looking and action-oriented. The nature of our research has made us a unique, independent and respected authority in China analysis. CMA has over twenty researchers and advisors in China and the greater New York area. The majority of our team is based in Beijing, giving us the unique advantage of being able to cover policies and events from on the ground.
