Senior Managing Director
Energy and Geopolitical Research

Dr. Mordechai Abir is Senior Managing Director, Energy and Geopolitical Research, at Burnham Securities Inc. He is also Professor Emeritus at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As a scholar of Middle Eastern, Islamic, and international affairs with more than four decades of experience spanning the military, government, and academic arenas - including more than 20 years as a consultant and senior strategist at Schroder & Co. - Dr. Abir is one of the most respected voices in energy and geopolitics today.

As international affairs both govern and respond to energy market conditions, Dr. Abir's years of scholarship and understanding of historical trends and motivations, behavior of personalities, and realpolitik help clients understand the complex relationships between energy supply, demand, prices, and economic growth.

Dr. Abir's clients include buy- and sell-side investment advisors who use his research to make investment decisions regarding energy-related positions and evaluate the macroeconomic and international political environments in general. This is a testament to his effectiveness in conveying geopolitical and energy market realities at a time when world events are adding to the confusion about the direction of the U.S., regional, and global economies. In fact, economists and other investment professionals have consistently given the international political environment its due as the most important factor in making intelligent investment decisions. Dr. Abir's additional advanced degree in economics helps his observations on energy and world affairs to lead to practical investment conclusions.
