In today’s ever-changing global economic environment and increasingly volatile financial markets, the role of macroeconomic researchers has become more vital than ever. As a Macro Policy Researcher at the Research Institute of Minmetals Securities Co., Ltd., Luo Weihan has made remarkable contributions across multiple key areas. Leveraging solid quantitative analysis skills, an international educational background, and extensive practical experience, he has provided strong support for the company’s business growth and the advancement of the industry.
Luo Weihan’s academic background spans the United States and Australia. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Saint Michael’s College, establishing a precise and systematic foundation for subsequent financial analysis. He later obtained a master’s degree in Finance from the University of New South Wales, gaining a comprehensive understanding of capital market operations and investment strategy formulation. Most recently, he completed an MBA at Boston University, further strengthening his capabilities in global strategic management and cross-border capital operations. This multidisciplinary, cross-cultural foundation enables him to seamlessly integrate theoretical research with market practice.
Since joining Minmetals Securities in May 2024, Luo Weihan has undertaken several core responsibilities, including macroeconomic and policy trend research, asset allocation strategy development, and the cross-departmental application of research results. He led the drafting of the report “Macroeconomic Outlook and Asset Allocation Recommendations for the Second Half of 2024”, which combined precise data analysis with in-depth policy interpretation. This report provided strategic support for the Wealth Management Department’s launch of the “Macro-Enhanced Fixed Income Product,” which successfully raised CNY 320 million within three months and received strong positive feedback from the investment market.
In advancing the institutionalization of research tools, Luo Weihan spearheaded the development of the “Macro High-Frequency Tracking System V1.0,” integrating more than 30 leading economic indicators and enhancing the accuracy of turning point predictions through algorithm optimization. In September 2024, the system issued an early warning—two weeks in advance—of potential volatility in local government finances, providing essential reference for the company’s credit bond team. This allowed timely adjustments to portfolio durations, effectively avoiding potential losses.
In the field of green finance, Luo Weihan played a pivotal role in authoring the in-depth report “Green Transition and Structural Inflation: The Intersection of Policy Determination and Financial Stability.” The report was cited by Xinhua News Agency’s think tank and Financial Times (Chinese edition), attracting wide attention within the industry. Beyond enhancing the company’s competitive advantage in green bond underwriting, the research also supported Minmetals Securities in winning a CNY 1.2 billion local government special bond project—demonstrating his ability to bridge cutting-edge policy research and tangible business development.
Luo Weihan also places great emphasis on the dissemination of research findings and the shaping of industry influence. He assisted in establishing the “Monthly Macro Outlook” release mechanism and forged collaborations with major media outlets such as Xinhua News Agency, China Business News, and 21st Century Business Herald. To date, he has published more than a dozen in-depth articles, helping the company establish a distinctive brand image in macroeconomic research and providing valuable perspectives to the broader industry.
Industry professionals widely recognize Luo Weihan’s unique strength in translating complex macroeconomic logic into actionable investment and risk management strategies. His work combines the precision of data analysis with the depth of policy insight, while aligning closely with business needs to produce implementable solutions. In an environment of heightened market uncertainty, these capabilities have generated direct business benefits for the company and contributed to the stable development of the industry as a whole.
Looking ahead, as the financial market environment continues to evolve, macro policy research will increasingly emphasize multidimensional data integration, policy trend forecasting, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Luo Weihan’s career path and research achievements represent a model for the new generation of macro researchers. His practical experience and professional expertise are injecting ongoing innovation and strategic vision into Minmetals Securities—and the wider financial industry.
