Marvin Barth

Marvin Barth is the creator of Thematic Markets and Seriously, Marvin?! Thematic Markets is rigorous, institutional-quality research aimed at market professionals, while Seriously, Marvin?! presents more accessible takes on contrarian musings Marvin doesn’t have time to research at Thematic Markets. Both publications benefit from the uniquely broad perspective on the global political economy Marvin has gained from a three-decade career spanning nearly every asset class, academia, central banking, finance ministry, and international institutions.

Trained in Economics (B.A., M.A. and Ph.D.), Marvin has worked as an economist, strategist and portfolio manager at major global banks, asset managers, and across the policy spectrum, including the Federal Reserve Board, the U.S. Treasury Department, and the Bank for International Settlements.

Raised in California, Marvin lives in London.
