Ed Hyman

Ed Hyman is the Chairman of International Strategy & Investment (ISI), which merged with Evercore to form Evercore ISI. He has been ranked number one economist by Institutional Investor magazine for over 30 consecutive years — an unprecedented streak that demonstrates his consistent analytical value to institutional investors. Hyman is known for conducting extensive proprietary surveys of economic activity — tracking company hiring plans, investment intentions, and other leading indicators — and distilling this information into clear weekly economic commentary and analysis. His data collection and synthesis methodology provided institutional investors with economic intelligence unavailable through conventional government statistics. His weekly surveys of corporate capital spending plans, hiring intentions, and inventory management practices have functioned as real-time proprietary economic data that often leads official statistics by weeks, giving institutional investors a systematic informational edge in positioning for cyclical inflection points.
