MacroMonitor measures all financial areas: offering financial services providers reliable, single-source research about US economic households’ needs, attitudes, and behaviours.

RFI Global’s CEO and Co-Founder Charles Green says in his announcement of the acquisition: “All of us at RFI Global, and our investment partners at Diversis Capital, are incredibly excited about the acquisition of MacroMonitor. Joining MacroMonitor’s rich legacy with the global reach and innovative products of RFI Global will allow us to create a superior offering for both the US and wider North American market and deliver a step change for both companies’ clients.”
RFI Global was founded in 2006 to provide unparalleled financial intelligence for the Australian and Asia-Pacific markets and has since grown into a global company serving 49 markets. Backed by their investment partners, Diversis Capital, RFI Global is on an exponential growth trajectory, having recently established a local presence in Mexico City, New York, Dubai, Paris and San Francisco to add to its existing presence in London, Sydney, Singapore, and Toronto.
Larry Cohen, Director of SBI’s Consumer Financial Decisions and the MacroMonitor says: “RFI Global is a fantastic partner for MacroMonitor and I could not be more pleased to be joining forces with them. Our long-standing client base will benefit from the breadth and depth of RFI Global’s offering, solutions and service capabilities in addition to the services they have enjoyed for years from MacroMonitor.
