What Yardeni Research does

Yardeni Research is an independent, privately held financial research firm founded in 2007 by Dr. Ed Yardeni, a veteran Wall Street strategist known for coining the 'Fed model' of stock valuation. The firm produces daily macro and market strategy research for institutional investors, hedge funds, mutual funds, pension funds, family offices, financial advisors, and corporate treasurers, with served geographies spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

The core product surface consists of three content products and an expanding set of interactive tools. Morning Briefings (1,821 published) provide daily market analysis, QuickTakes (1,430+ published) offer timely event-driven commentary, and the Real-Time Charts library contains 7,400+ visualizations covering equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and economic indicators. The platform's tool suite includes the Beige Book Monitor, FOMC Policy Meter, FOMC Minutes Monitor, FOMC SEP Monitor, an FOMC Statements database spanning 1997-present, a Private Credit Monitor tracking $2.1T in market exposure, and a Release Calendar aggregating 104 upcoming publications from 12 global institutions. An AI Research Assistant provides AI-powered search across 3,300+ research documents, representing a knowledge-retrieval layer over the firm's proprietary corpus.

The business model is subscription-based with annual billing, sold exclusively through direct self-service on yardeni.com with a 4-week free trial. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. Marketing is content-driven and founder-led: Ed Yardeni's recurring appearances on CNBC and Bloomberg, combined with citations in major financial outlets, serve as the primary demand generation channels, with the research library itself functioning as both product and marketing vehicle. The firm operates with 1-10 employees and has no disclosed outside funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership.
