Astor Economic Research 1.5.5

Astor's proprietary economic indicator, the Astor Economic Index, consolidates a diverse array of real-time economic data points. This approach aims to produce a more refined and precise “live read” of the economic landscape. The index serves as a fundamentally driven tool for determining equity exposure (beta) within investment portfolios.

The application features a current reading of the Astor Economic Index, alongside an aggregate view of various economic indicators, charts, research, and commentary that form the foundation of Astor's professionally managed portfolios.

Astor's commitment to thorough analysis of economic data aims to uncover valuable signals for long-term financial market allocations. The research is grounded in economic theory, which has undergone stringent analysis and validation. Historical trends indicate that periods of significant economic stress, such as recessions, frequently align with considerable declines in the stock market. Consequently, Astor’s analytical framework is designed to identify early signs of economic weakness.
