Data, models and tools
Fathom has developed its own comprehensive range of data, models, and tools to aid our work for clients in the private sector and in non-profit organisations.
Global Economic and Strategic Allocation Models (GESAM)
Fathom’s GESAM, used to construct our Global Outlook, are among only a handful of commercially available macroeconomic models in the world. The models cover more than 80% of global GDP and incorporate data that stretch back 150 years. They are grounded in theory and estimated empirically. They are supported by a suite of financial tools and can be used to do scenario analysis. Combined, they offer our clients an unmatched understanding of the near-term prospects for the global economy and asset markets.
Energy Transition Scores
This comprehensive dataset scores 186 countries on the economic opportunities and challenges that the transition to net zero greenhouse gas emissions will create. Risks and opportunities are broken down into categories and subcategories, with 198 variables providing users with a detailed picture of current and future winners and losers. All this information can be accessed and downloaded via a user-friendly dashboard. It can be used by policymakers to understand countries’ climate policies and forecast geopolitical changes, and by the private sector to identify investment opportunities and risks.
Financial market toolkit
Fathom combines proprietary measures of the market-implied, near-term economic outlook (Fathom Leading Indicator); liquidity (Fathom Liquidity Indicator); and risk sentiment (Fathom Risk-Off Gauge). These are complemented by factor-mimicking portfolios, which are shown to deliver alpha across a range of backtests and regime types.
Financial Vulnerability Indicator
Fathom’s Financial Vulnerability Indicator (FVI) makes a quarterly assessment of the risk of sovereign, currency and banking crises occurring in 176 countries. Beyond the headline probabilities, access to the full FVI dataset illustrates what drives potential crises, presented in a user-friendly interface. Fathom’s FVI-related services include regular updates, quarterly presentations and risk scenarios, yielding insights for asset and fund managers, analysts and strategic decision-makers.
