Alma Economics was commissioned by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to undertake market research into the export of UK financial services to the US. The primary focus of this research was to gain a largely qualitative understanding of the nature of services that UK-resident financial institutions provide to US-resident firms and consumers.

As part of our approach, we conducted semi-structured phone interviews with key firms – including banks, insurance companies, and asset managers – that deliver services to US-resident clients. The findings of this research fed into the wider policy process of the UK Embassy in Washington, DC.
