Investment strategy consulting since 1986
LCV Research was set up in 1986. The publication produced in partnership with the French Association of Phd graduates in Economics.
From the outset, we have been dedicated to analysing and presenting global, cyclical and structural macroeconomic trends, for a client base of major corporations, corporate heads and investors.
Over many years, we have broadened our activity to include investment strategy consulting on a global scale, covering all asset classes (equities, fixed income, exchange rates, commodities, property, private equity, etc.), as well as training in economics and the financial markets.
