Terry Loebs is the Founder and Managing Member of Pulsenomics LLC. Since founding Pulsenomics in 2011, Terry has focused on developing research products that quantify shifts in economic expectations, consumer sentiment, and market behavior and translate them into actionable intelligence for institutional clients and the broader public.
Terry has decades of experience spanning financial markets, housing, data analytics, product development, asset management, and strategic business planning. His work has helped create and commercialize pioneering financial products and market infrastructure, including the Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes, the first U.S. home price-linked futures and options market, and the first publicly traded securities linked to U.S. home prices.
At Pulsenomics, Terry has created and managed a range of proprietary research initiatives, including the Home Price Expectations Survey™, U.S. Housing Confidence Survey™, U.S. Housing Confidence Index™, Transaction Sentiment Index™, and Labor Market Outlook Survey™. He also manages multiple expert survey panels that capture distinctive, independent perspectives on the outlook for U.S. housing, employment, and the broader economy. More recently, Pulsenomics has expanded its opinion research portfolio to include consumer sentiment gauges that quantify shifts in attitudes and expectations relevant to economic and business decision-making.
Before founding Pulsenomics, Terry held senior leadership positions at MacroMarkets LLC and Fiserv Inc. and was Co-President of Case Shiller Weiss, Inc. At MacroMarkets, he played a central role in the development and commercialization of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes and helped pioneer new financial products and market infrastructure for managing U.S. home price risk. Earlier in his career, he worked in mortgage and capital markets on Wall Street.
Terry has also served as Board Chair and Lead Independent Trustee of ETF Managers Trust, providing independent oversight of a multi-billion-dollar family of exchange-traded funds and gaining extensive experience in investment governance, fiduciary responsibilities, audit oversight, compliance, and asset management.
Throughout his career, Terry has specialized in turning complex market and economic information into products that organizations can use to make better decisions. His work sits at the intersection of data, economics, financial markets, and human expectations, with a particular emphasis on creating distinctive research and market-intelligence products that identify emerging trends, quantify shifts in sentiment and expectations, and give decision-makers a clearer view of what lies ahead. His clients and partners have included Fannie Mae, JPMorgan Chase, Indeed, Opendoor, and Zillow Group.
