§ III.  ·  the editor

Written by one person, for readers who pay attention.

I'm Ross McLean-Anderson, and I write The Research Brief.

Every Sunday you’ll receive one issue: macro and policy backdrop, a markets section, a longer piece on geopolitics or sectors, a few earnings notes, and the week ahead. No advertising. No sponsored sections. No artificial urgency.

R. McLean-Anderson— London
§ IV.  ·  questions

The reasonable questions, answered.

Each issue runs across six sections: a short summary, macro and policy backdrop, markets this week, geopolitics and implications, sector and company watch, and the week ahead. The voice is editorial — opinionated where it matters, restrained where it does not.
Once a week — Sundays, 7am UK time. Around 42 issues a year.
