At the Intersection of
Macroeconomics & Politics

About Us

Evenflow Macro helps its clients understand the intersection of macroeconomics and politics in a way that is meaningful to their own businesses. In today’s world, economies and financial markets are heavily influenced by the strategies of central banks, national governments, and international negotiators. The success or failure of their policies are critical to assessing the most likely course ahead for the global economy. Evenflow Macro integrates fundamental analyses of economics, markets, and foreign affairs with assessments of political realities.


Our economists have held key positions at the White House, the Senate, the US Embassy in Beijing, the World Bank, as well as a winning presidential campaign. We work to identify macroeconomic and political changes early and provide a unique understanding of global events. Our deep experience as former policymakers allows us to offer original insight into current events as they unfold.

They value thoughtful analysis, honesty and integrity and seek a two-way relationship with a trusted advisor. Our clients’ time is the most valuable commodity, so we ensure that our analysis is clear, concise and immediately digestible.
