Callum Thomas is the founder of Topdown Charts, a research firm servicing institutional fund managers entrusted in overseeing trillions of dollars for their end clients.

Having started out at the New Zealand stock exchange, Callum secured Economic and Strategy analyst roles at AXA global investors, before being promoted to Investment strategist at AMP Capital, after they’d bought AXA’s multi-asset business in 2010. His weekly chart analysis received rave reviews from colleagues, and after a pivotal trip to Bali, Callum took the plunge and founded Topdown charts in 2016.

We discuss the centrality of charts within Callum’s research process, analyzing his 3-tier framework. With September well-known for its poor equity returns, we discuss Seasonality, as Callum unpicks the ‘September effect’. Callum finishes by explaining his recession outlook, using global PMI data in conjunction with an intriguing correlation between industrial metals and energy prices. Enjoy!
