A. Gary Shilling & Co.

A. Gary Shilling, as President, is the primary investment decision-maker and the firm's most visible figure. The firm's investments reflect his macro-economic views, particularly his long-standing emphasis on deflation risk (per public record).

The firm's ideas stem from Shilling's own macro-economic research and forecasting, published in his newsletter "Insight." The firm does not rely on a large team of analysts or external research vendors for deal flow (per public record).

The firm operates as an investment advisor managing separate accounts and an economic consulting business. It is not a commingled hedge fund structure; clients typically have individually managed portfolios aligned with Shilling's macro outlook (per public record).

Shilling is known for a deflationary view, arguing that high debt, technological disruption, and demographic trends will suppress inflation and economic growth. The firm has historically positioned portfolios to benefit from falling interest rates and commodity prices (per public record).

Shilling has expressed skepticism about technology-driven equity rallies, viewing them as speculative bubbles per his deflationary framework. The firm may have avoided or shorted such sectors, preferring assets that benefit from lower interest rates and weaker economic activity (per public record).
