Stone McCarthy Research Associates (SMRA) provides independent economic research and analysis tailored to fixed-income institutional participants, a service it has offered since 1989. Its readership includes portfolio managers, traders, sales staff, and researchers, with clients spanning central banks, investment banks, large and small commercial banks, hedge funds, and pension funds. The research aims to keep clients informed and more productive by delivering forecasts and analysis of major economic data and a daily tally of market events, while placing market developments in a broader context such as how employment reports or policy meetings fit into longer-term trends. The firm also publishes a proprietary weekly fixed-income SMR Portfolio Manager Survey, accompanied by a twenty-year history of how participants have managed duration and credit allocation. Based in New York, SMRA operates within the financial services sector and, after its acquisition by Oxford Economics, participates in a broader US macroeconomic offering that covers short- and long-term analysis for indicators, central bank activity, fiscal policy, and financial markets.
