Who We Are

Consumer Equity Research is a world-class, analyst owned and managed business. Our principals are industry leaders, who have experience at prestigious buy and sell side firms, including Citi, Crédit Agricole Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, Lazard, and Schroders. We are multilingual and possess nearly a century of combined financial market experience. A number of us have also held corporate positions in consumer industries, which, we believe, greatly enriches our analysis.

We pool our expertise and we love what we do. We are committed to two goals, namely being a "must have" resource for every serious investor in the global consumer space and creating an exemplary corporate culture.
