Macquarie Asia Equity Research

Macquarie’s Asia Equity Research team delivers differentiated insights, analysis and thought leadership to our institutional clients, underpinned by deep sector expertise and a strong focus on cross border investment themes.

Rather than viewing our markets in isolation, our analysts operate across geographies and sectors to identify and lead the key narratives shaping Asia. This connectivity enables a more robust, ecosystem-driven coverage model and supports the delivery of research that helps clients navigate increasingly complex and interconnected markets.

Uniquely positioned as one of Asia’s most experienced research houses, our team has an extensive presence across 11 markets and covers more than 800 stocks in the region - combining local insight with a regional thematic lens.

In addition to our long-standing country insights, our team also focuses on four sector verticals: technology and software, energy transition and commodities (ETAC), consumer and healthcare. Our proprietary data sets and analysis help our clients with their investment processes to generate alpha.
