The Institutional Risk Analyst (Opinion)

The Institutional Risk Analyst is a subscription-based financial opinion newsletter published by Christopher Whalen through his firm Whalen Global Advisors LLC. It leans conservative-to-libertarian in its market and regulatory views, shaped by Whalen's background in Republican politics and his long-standing skepticism of the Federal Reserve and federal housing agencies. Its coverage of the Trump administration is mixed: it has backed market-oriented deregulation broadly but has been openly critical of specific administration decisions on housing finance and monetary policy.
