B CA Research has significant in-house research talent. We also attach great importance to maintaining close links with a broad range of external experts in order to exchange ideas and views regarding the economic and financial market outlook. To this end, in 2010, we established a Research Advisory Board (RAB) comprising a diverse group of acknowledged economic and investment experts. The RAB includes members with backgrounds in: policy making, fund management, academia and business, and represents Asia, Europe and North America.
BCA strategists meet regularly with the RAB to brainstorm on key issues and themes that will drive global investment trends and to identify major risks to the outlook.
