Why Bretton Woods Research?

We provide a coherent, understandable framework with which to interpret and anticipate events in the global political economy. Our clients often remark that the big picture perspective we offer has been 'like a compass' and has been an invaluable part of their investment decision process.

Our namesake harkens back to the gold standard days of the Bretton Woods Era, the period between 1944-1967, during which there was uninterrupted prosperity in the world's free market economies. The lynchpin to that prosperity was the international monetary system which anchored the U.S. dollar to a gold price of $35/oz. A dollar was worth the same amount in 1953 as it was in 1963 and inflation was nonexistent. Despite President Richard Nixon's decision to move the world off the gold standard in 1971, gold remains the numeraire, the standard against which all prices must eventually equilibrate. The gold signal continues to exert a profound effect on prices and markets. Accordingly, it remains central to our forecasting model.
