Our commodities research is provided by Macquarie Research Equities. The team is dedicated to providing specialist metals, mining, agricultural and energy research and market intelligence. Rated as one of the top teams globally, we work extensively for corporations, industry consultants and resource portfolio managers with exposure to the commodities markets. The commodities team provides price forecasts which are developed in relation to our forecasts of the major macro dynamics and detailed demand and supply analysis for each commodity market that we cover.

Environmental, social and governance

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are increasingly acknowledged as key non-financial factors that can influence the performance of investment portfolios.

At Macquarie Securities, we have been publishing on ESG issues for some time. Our integrated approach, giving top-down analysis followed by bottom-up stock valuations, has gained a significant following among institutional investors in both Australia and Asia. Our focus on the significance of ESG issues, and our engagement with a broad range of ESG-interested parties, has led us to perform well in emerging peer ESG rankings.

Our research includes:

forecasts for the Australian renewable energy market
commentary on changes to corporate governance guidelines on diversity
analysis of corporate human capital management, corporate governance and risk management
analysis of issues surrounding water scarcity and infrastructure.
