Independent Insight for Complex Markets.

Advisory at SmartMacro Labs is about applying macro expertise in ways that matter for real decisions. We partner with investment firms, policy organizations, and industry groups to apply macro and AI expertise where it matters most.

The perspective we bring comes from two decades across investment management, policy, and academia. Having sat in both the CIO’s seat and the policy advisor’s chair, we understand the challenge of making choices when the data is noisy and the stakes are high.

Whether developing custom models, embedding AI into research, or refining the investment process, our focus is consistent: clarity and dependable tools for decision-making..

How We Work With Clients

We adapt our work to the challenges each client is facing. Some teams look for an ongoing relationship — regular conversations, model reviews, and strategic input that build over time. Others come to us with a specific question or challenge that requires a focused project: designing a model, testing an investment process, or analyzing a policy shift.

We also support organizations through training. That might mean equipping a team with new forecasting tools, introducing AI workflows into existing research, or guiding staff through applied exercises that connect macro theory with practical decision-making. Whatever the format, our aim is the same: to give you clarity and tools that strengthen decisions.
