About

Who We Are

Valdivieso & Co. is a global research and advisory boutique dedicated to building clarity of vision in complex environments. We work from the conviction that sound decisions require intellectual rigour, disciplined judgement, and an uncompromising ethical standard.

 

Our perspective is global macro. We study the interaction between economic cycles, policy regimes, geopolitical dynamics, and human behaviour, because it is at those intersections that long-term trends become legible and short-term volatility can be placed in context. Our work spans the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom and the European Union, the Middle East, and Latin America.

 

We do not position ourselves as providers of ready-made answers. We build understanding through structured research, scenario thinking, and decision frameworks designed to help leaders and decision-makers navigate uncertainty with steadiness and perspective.

 

Our analysis has been followed for more than a decade in Chile, where our commentary has contributed to financial and economic dialogue with a consistent emphasis on clarity and a macro perspective.

 

Research. Insight. Vision.

Our Founder: Sebastian Valdivieso

Sebastian Valdivieso is the founder of Valdivieso & Co. His work combines global macro research with disciplined strategic judgement to support decision-making under uncertainty.

 

He holds an MBA from the University of Oxford, complemented by postgraduate training in Financial Management and International Political Economy, and a background in Psychology. This interdisciplinary foundation informs an approach that connects economic cycles, policy regimes, geopolitical dynamics, and behavioural science into coherent frameworks for interpretation.

 

Over the past 15 years, Sebastian has worked across global financial markets in roles spanning investment research, market strategy, and leadership. His focus has been consistently analytical: developing a global macro perspective to study and interpret episodes of heightened uncertainty, including financial and economic crises.

 

He has participated in selective international forums and private discussions with global market participants across key centres including London, New York, Doha, and Davos.

 

In Chile, he is recognised for over a decade of public commentary on macroeconomic developments and financial markets, valued for clarity, depth, and a consistent macro perspective.

 

Sebastian founded Valdivieso & Co. to build a boutique firm where research is treated as a craft, and advice is shaped by evidence and long-term perspective.

We combine global macro research with strategic advisory, grounded in evidence, ethics, and long-term perspective.
