Built On Debate
Every idea is challenged before it reaches you.
At BCA, strategists debate the major macro issues every day. Arthur Budaghyan, Head of CoreMacro, explains how that internal challenge serves as quality control, so every idea, insight, and conclusion is questioned before it goes to clients.
The result is research that has already been pressure-tested, and a framework you can bring into your own investment debates.

CoreMacro is BCA's flagship platform, covering the full macro picture: growth, inflation, policy, and what they mean for allocation across asset classes and regions. Essentials is BCA's daily macro briefing. The specialist platforms (Portfolio Construction, GeoMacro, FICC, and Equities) apply the same independent research to specific mandates.
CoreMacro is built for institutional investors whose decisions have to hold up. That includes asset managers and CIOs building their firm's investment outlook, hedge funds acting on macro inflection points, and pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices making long-horizon allocation decisions.
CoreMacro includes flagship macro and investment strategy reports, cross-asset and regional allocation guidance, single-asset recommendations across equities, fixed income, and currencies, and in-depth thematic research. Clients also get MacroQuant, BCA's quantitative macro model, which turns economic and market data into systematic signals that complement the strategists' judgment. Direct access to BCA strategists through calls, meetings, and webcasts is included as well.
Most investors already receive research from banks and brokers, often bundled with trading. CoreMacro is independent, so its analysis isn't tied to underwriting, trading, or selling a product. Instead of a stream of separate notes to piece together, CoreMacro connects global, regional, and asset-class research into one framework, with clear implications for positioning, risk, and allocation.
