GLOBAL RESEARCH
info
Global Alliance Partners (GAP) produces and distributes economic and strategy research, which includes a regular email
"Daily Snapshot" that places the latest market newsflow in context for clients; a two-to-three-paged note
"Weekly Insight" that covers a topical issue ranging from Chinese revaluation prospects to the outlook for
the oil market; and an in-depth monthly report of eight to 10 pages "Inflection Point" that focuses on key
secular investment themes such as demographic change.
The analysis aims to be incisive, unbiased and typically contrarian. Our views published in late 2009
included expectations that:
•
the global recovery would be surprisingly strong with the US achieving more than 4% real GDP growth;
•
the US dollar would rally with rising rate and growth expectations;
•
China would revalue in 2010; and
•
Japanese equities would be an upside surprise.
