Job Description:

Our macro-investing philosophy focuses on the powerful forces that shape markets: economics, policy, and politics. We believe these aren't just trends-they're the drivers of opportunity, risk, and long-term growth.
By embracing a top-down macro perspective predicated on monetary and fiscal policy, we help investors identify critical turning points in markets and position their portfolios with precision. From sectors to industries and geographies, we enable you to think bigger and act decisively. As a company, we embrace America-first, libertarian ideals with a mission to expand economic literacy.
The world is experiencing a contentious changing global order in the midst of a 4th industrial revolution. High inflation, unrestrained government spending, dollarization, and political polarization create difficult headwinds for the US to continue leading in innovation. Innovation is directly correlated with productivity, which results from education and a market economy driven by incentives. Demands to legislate equality of outcome have replaced standards of equality of opportunity rooted in meritocracy. Consequently, for the first time in U.S. history, individuals face the likelihood of a lower standard of living than their parents. To combat this, it starts with educating professionals on economic policies that can improve quality of life for current and future generations. The goal is to produce an informed, united electorate capable of setting data-driven, equitable growth policies-leading to higher productivity and an increased standard of living for Americans.
