The research subscription
General Assets Research Group is the research group of General Assets. We study global financial markets, investment funds and the economies behind them, and publish dated, sourced reports. The key findings of every report are free to read. Subscribers receive the full reports, the data behind them and direct access to the people who write them.
What General Assets Research Group does
What we research
- Economy: growth, inflation, interest rates and public finances in the major economies.
- Markets: equities, bonds, currencies and commodities.
- Trading: how orders are executed and priced, and what trading costs.
- Funds: structures, costs and performance measures, from UCITS to private equity.
- Defence and security: budgets, procurement and industrial capacity in Europe.
How we work
We work from primary sources: statistics offices, central banks, regulators, governments and companies. Every figure carries its date and a link to its source, and when official data are revised, we say so.
We describe what has happened and what institutions expect. We publish no forecasts of our own and no recommendations to buy or sell.
Who we write for
Investors, advisers, companies and institutions that follow the world's financial markets and want the figures with their sources, in English, German or French.

Questions about the subscription
Is the subscription investment advice?
No. Our reports are general information about economies, markets and sectors. They are not investment research within the meaning of the EU rules, do not take anyone's personal circumstances into account and contain no recommendations to buy or sell. See our research disclaimer.
What can I read without a subscription?
The key takeaways, the first section and the sources of every report, and all our explainers, are free on this website.
Can I ask about a topic you have not covered?
Yes. Subscribers can suggest topics and ask questions about our research at any time; we tell you if and when we can cover a topic.
