A number of leading corporations and institutional investors rely on A. Gary Shilling & Co. for economic consultation. 

Our typical client has a personal, in-depth relationship with Dr. Shilling at the senior management level and a deep interest in major economic and financial themes that affect its portfolios or business in the long and short runs.  While the implications of our political, economic, and financial themes for major sectors of the U.S. and foreign economies concern corporate clients and the effects on financial markets engage institutional investors, all of our clients appreciate our broad, nonconsensus approach which aims to see the forest and not get lost among the trees. 

Consulting clients have direct access to Dr. Shilling and our staff, and normally receive two to four visits in their offices from Dr. Shilling each year.  Our services are provided on an annual retainer basis, with the fees determined by the amount of our involvement with the client.  We also do special projects when requested.

Our goal is not to have clients accept our analyses and forecasts hook, line and sinker.  Rather, it is to offer them well thought-out, consistent, and nonconsensus views, that will challenge their thinking, keep them from being blindsided by unfolding events, and prepare them to react more quickly if our forecasts do start to materialize.
