Having started his career trading physical nonferrous metals, Ed Meir now speaks often at commodity conferences and is frequently quoted in the press. He has also assisted legal cases as an expert witness. Holding degrees in Economics from Montreal's McGill University and New York University, he is a registered principle with the National Futures Association, with whom his own firm is registered as an independent introducing broker.

Mr Meir was named as the most accurate price forecaster for LME base metals in five of the last 10 years between 2010-2020, as ranked by the Fastmarkets APEX analyst survey. He also obtained a top-five ranking in precious metals in five of the past seven years, including #1 in 2019 and #2 in the prestigious LBMA Precious Metals Survey.
