ASSET PULSE

Our October issue looks at what soaring US Treasury yields may be signalling about the global economy and asks whether credit markets are beginning to tell a different story from equities. We also provide an update on global lending conditions with our proprietary Liquidity Pulse index, which finds that lending activity has remained relatively resilient despite rising government bond yields and tightening financial conditions. For this month’s leadership Q&A, we speak to our Hong Kong & Mainland China CEO, Vincent Xu, about why long-term loans against shares can serve as a form of insurance for what is often an HNWI’s largest asset, and why private credit could play an increasingly important role in financing the next phase of AI-driven growth.

Our August issue looks at what investors might expect next from semiconductor stocks, following a volatile summer for the sector. We also provide an update on global lending conditions with our proprietary Liquidity Pulse index, which finds that market jitters and the rising cost of credit are doing little to slow the ongoing surge in lending. And for this month’s leadership Q&A series, we speak to our newly appointed CEO for Asia, Alvin Yap, on his learnings from an eventful career financing ambitious Asian enterprises of every size — and what it’s taught him about capital.

Our June issue looks at the ongoing case for private credit, and its role in funding the AI buildout. We also examine the early warning signs for the global economy coming through from our propriety Liquidity Pulse index. And from Hong Kong, we feature a Q&A with EquitiesFirst’s Asia CEO, Gordon Crosbie-Walsh, who discusses the outlook for the region, and the reasons why our alternative credit model is in such high demand.

Our April issue of Asset Pulse examines the parallels between today’s oil price shock and the crisis of 1973, exploring what lessons investors can draw from history as conflict in the Middle East once again reshapes global energy markets. We also provide an update on global lending conditions with our proprietary Liquidity Pulse index, which had hit a new high just before the outbreak of the conflict. From Sydney, we feature a Q&A with EquitiesFirst’s Australia CEO, Jason Winderbaum, on how tailored financing solutions are helping Australian investors access capital on their own terms.

Our February issue of Asset Pulse brings a Lunar New Year themed edition, exploring what the Year of the Horse could mean for markets in 2026. We also provide an update on global lending conditions with our proprietary Liquidity Pulse index, and from Dubai, a Q&A with EquitiesFirst’s MENA Principal Representative, Andrew Stevens, on the opportunity set for equity-backed lending in the Middle East.

The November edition of our Asset Pulse newsletter explores whether non-US equities can maintain their edge after a year of unexpected outperformance, as shifting valuations and policy dynamics test the long-standing dominance of Wall Street. We also examine whether the exuberance reflected in our Liquidity Pulse index signals a looming bubble. From London, we feature a Q&A with James Mungovan, CEO for Europe, on EquitiesFirst’s evolving strategy in the region.

Our September newsletter explores whether investors can continue to “buy the dip” in an environment of rising tariffs, shifting capital flows and persistent volatility. We also take a fresh look at our Liquidity Pulse index and we feature a Q&A with Alexander Christy, Jr., founder and CEO of EquitiesFirst, as he discusses two decades of successful client partnerships.

Our inaugural newsletter takes a look at the “Sell America” trade and what this means for equity flows into other markets. We also introduce EquitiesFirst’s Liquidity Pulse: a new, proprietary measure that is designed to provide our clients with insights into lending conditions around the world. And as always, we are pleased to share our latest Insights.
