Mr Will Denyer, Partner and Chief U.S. Economist, Gavekal

Will worked temporarily with our research team in 2005. We decided it was a good fit, so in 2007 he moved to Hong Kong to join permanently. Will is now our lead analyst on the US economy. He also helps manage the global research team. Will has a master’s degree in economics from Mises Graduate School, and a bachelor’s degree in business and economics from the University of Oklahoma. Will speaks English (including the occasional "y'all" in conversation), and is a struggling student of Chinese.

Will writes on a range of topics, but his key areas of interest include US monetary policy, business cycle analysis, demographics, the relationship between corporate profitability and interest rates (a la Knut Wicksell), valuations, and asset allocation.
