Enzio von Pfeil (1953– ) has been a commercial economist throughout his working life.[1] Having studied under Friedrich von Hayek at the University of Freiburg, in Germany, his PhD was on direct investments. At the University (located in Freiburg im Breisgau), he was an Assistant Professor specializing in international economics. He spent many years as a treasury economist for JP Morgan and Schroders in New York and London, and as a private banker in Istanbul. In the 1980s, Pfeil became Chief of International Economics at Smith New Court Far East Ltd,[2] which now belongs to Merrill Lynch, and moved to Hong Kong in 1989. By 1995, S.G. Warburg, Clarion Capital and ABN-AMRO (Clarion Securities) asked him to become their Chief Economist.[3][4]

For some years, Enzio has run his own macro advisory firm, Commercial Economics Asia.[5] Enzio has also created an online version of his proprietary The Economic Clock at Enzio's Clock. From an Asian perspective, using his seasoned knowledge of global markets, he takes key economic indicators and filters them down to concise, commercially applicable information for investors of all sizes.

Dr. von Pfeil has lived off his own bond portfolio for the past seven years, and increasingly is managing his clients' assets on a managed account basis.

He has written the following books:

  • 1990 - Effective Control of Currency Risks : A Practical, Comprehensive Guide, Macmillan, London and St. Martin's Press, New York.
  • 1985 - German Direct Investments in the United States, JAI Press, Greenwich, Connecticut.
  • 1979 - Deutsche Direktinvestitionen in den USA, Knapp, Frankfurt.
  • 2008 - Trade Myths: Globalization and the Trade Balance Fallacy.[6][7]

Pfeil contributes regularly to Bloomberg Television UK (i.e. worldwide) and Germany (in German), as well as to CNBC.
