Independent Strategy adds value to its clients by seeking out investment themes and opportunities in Macro Investments, often challenging conventional wisdom.
Too often investment research is constrained by the narrow focus of the research provider, but we seek to create a cohesive global view. We are compact and flexible enough to respond quickly to an ever-changing investment scene.
The research is designed to benefit both short-term and longer-term strategic thinking. It carefully studies geo-political and economic events, while looking for breaks in historical trends to uncover investment opportunities.
RESEARCH
We produce 60-70 reports a year on investment strategy, dealing with multiple investment topics. The scope of the research is global.
PORTFOLIO ADVISORY
After due consultation with the client, we devise a dedicated investment benchmark and country allocation policy for a portfolio of assets.
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS
Alternative investments are becoming an increasingly important part of institutional investors’ portfolios.

The trilemma strategy
The world economy is conflicted by variables that will slow growth and headline inflation. But not enough to make bonds a buy because central banks will go on tightening and many of the negatives will increase costs. There are equities that should do well: corporations with cash flow surpluses, as well as some high-yielding structured-equity products. We are also long energy stocks. We would buy selected emerging markets, particularly in Latin America, that are both high-yielding; might take a political turn towards reform; and benefit from higher commodity prices.

By any measure, grain and oilseed supplies are going to be justifiably tight for at least another year, particularly if the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to reduce supplies and exports from there. Grain and oilseed demand is unrelenting as the world hungers for more food. It’s a bull market and not likely to change soon. We are staying long wheat, corn and soybeans, but also cotton, a key component of soft goods production.
