A Framework That Provides Clarity

During periods of “low visibility,” confusion reigns: for every indication of one trend, there seems to be a countertrend. The key is to glean from the collective wisdom of reliable leading indicators a clear signal that the economy is headed for a turn.

ECRI Professional Services

ECRI professional services deliver a clear view of the path ahead. Forewarned of upcoming turning points in economic and inflation cycles, our members have the clarity and conviction to break from the crowd at the right time.

A Unique Competitive Advantage

Investment Managers

For decades, investment managers have looked to us to navigate cyclical shifts in market perceptions. This has typically enabled them to lower risk, increase returns, and outperform their peers. A 5% increase in annual returns for our members is not unusual - $500 million on a $10 billion portfolio.

Business Executives

Business executives use ECRI to improve the timing of their critical tactical decisions such as building or reducing inventory and adjusting pricing and staffing levels. Members are prepared for the economy's swings – not surprised by them – and therefore succeed when their competition stumbles.

Government Policymakers

Government policymakers can use ECRI to improve the timing of policy decisions. Since monetary policy typically lags economic activity and fiscal policy must be sensitive to the cyclical outlook, a reliable assessment of turning point risk should produce smoother macroeconomic outcomes.

Testimonial

For ourselves, in this cycle, we'll line up with ECRI.
- Grant's Interest Rate Observer
(ECRI's) forecast of the [Great] recession helped us anticipate reduced merchandise sales; we proactively revised our inventory forecasts down months ago, and that has helped to greatly minimize the inventory swell and need for markdowns.
- Fortune 100 Company
Congrats on having the only coherent analysis available.
- ECRI Professional Member
No one speaks with more authority about the economy's turning points.
- Fortune Magazine
[T]he Economic Cycle Research Institute [is] a private forecasting group with an excellent track record.
- The New York Times
ECRI can justify a certain smugness now that business cycles are back in fashion. The institute called the last two recessions and the current recovery months ahead of the pack.
- Harvard Business Review
