Shahar Koifman spent over 20 years in Israeli Defense Intelligence, retiring as Lt. Col. from the Research & Analysis Division. He went on to lead investment research in the private sector, covering financial technology and commercial real estate.

The Koifman Brief draws on both worlds: the analytical rigor of intelligence work applied to the macro forces and structural shifts that shape geopolitics, markets, and capital flows.

What I Write About

The Koifman Brief sits at the intersection of three domains that look disparate on the surface but share a common analytical thread.

  • Geopolitics: The operating environment that shapes everything else. Policy shifts, sanctions regimes, and regional dynamics that create structural risks and opportunities.
  • FinTech: Where regulatory frameworks meet technological disruption. Payments, digital assets, and the infrastructure that moves capital.
  • Real Estate: Where macro forces become tangible. Interest rates, demographic shifts, and policy changes manifest in physical assets and capital flows.

    • Each piece traces implications beyond the obvious first-order effects. The goal is not prediction but clarity: understanding the forces at work well enough to make better decisions.
