History

The company was founded as LSR in 1989 by Tim Congdon, a British economist specialising in the monetarist approach to macroeconomic policy. He was soon joined by Brian Reading. Charles Dumas joined the firm in 1998, to take over the international forecasting service, and became chief economist in 2005.

Since 1989, TS Lombard has stated that its aim is to provide global investors with independent, provocative economic analysis and investment advice that challenges the consensus.

TS Lombard's forecasting methodology combines Keynesian and monetary economics. It uses analysis of money supply, sector financial balances and flow of funds in its forecasting methodology. In 2005, TS Lombard was among the few forecasters to predict the global financial crisis.

The company was acquired by TSL Research Group in 2016.[1]

The company was then acquired by GlobalData in 2022. GlobalData said that the acquisition provided it with further access to sell its full product line to the asset management industry. TSL also will bring a team of macro research analysts and economists to the company.[2]
