Aurora Macro Strategies - International Trade

Our Values

Neutrality

Our political and policy coverage is fiercely non-partisan and non-aspirational. In an increasingly polarized global environment, clients need to understand actual risks, likelihoods, and impacts, more than political talking points.

Confidentiality

Our client relationships, projects, and interactions are strictly confidential.

Forward-looking

We understand that many of the most pressing risks—climate change, global inequality, AI—do not adhere to a mark-to-market or quarterly schedule. We will always endeavor to balance the long-term view with more acute, shorter-term considerations.

Diversity

Much as the best research is informed by tapping into diverse viewpoints, we believe the best organizations are made by cultivating diverse viewpoints and backgrounds internally. We are committed to growing our organization accordingly.
