Malcolm Tulloch, founder and chief strategist of Tulloch Research will speak on Investment Implications of the New Geopolitical Landscape.

Malcolm founded Tulloch Research in 1985, after graduating with a Masters in International Finance from the London School of Economics. Over the past 30 years, he has advised hedge funds and family offices all over the world.

Manhattan-based Tulloch Research forecasts financial markets using a combination of fundamental analysis, market dynamics and predictive algorithms. Malcolm takes a multi-disciplinary approach to forecasting that embraces mathematics, Austrian and Keynesian economics, Braudelian history and psychology. Braudelian history, championed by Fernand Braudel, emphasises a holistic, long-term perspective on history, moving beyond traditional narratives focused on individual events and “great men”, to examine the broader structures, geographies, and the economic forces shaping civilisations.

He offers Intuitive Insights that bring understanding of the forces that drive events and highlight key opportunities for investors.
