We launched this macro research and data intelligence platform because we’re passionate about making macroeconomic insights accessible and understandable for all investors. After over five years of working as macro analysts and traders, we’ve experienced the complexities of financial markets firsthand and seen the challenges that many investors both institutional and retails encounter.

We believe that the benefits of macro investing should be available to everyone, not just institutional investors and hedge fund managers. Our goal is to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, helping you improve your financial literacy and make informed investment decisions. With our diverse backgrounds in academia and experience as a macro analyst and a trader for top-tier buy-side investment firms, we are well-equipped to address this gap.

Many individuals feel frustrated by the lack of practical investment education in traditional finance courses. We understand that navigating the world of finance can be overwhelming, especially with the amount of misinformation and biased opinions out there. Therefore, we aim to help you apply theories in practice and make unbiased decisions based on macro cycles and fundamentals, allowing you to cut through the noise.

Recent years, especially 2022 and the period from 2024 to 2025, have vividly illustrated how market sentiment, or "animal spirits," can drive investor behavior without a clear understanding of macroeconomic risks. This dynamic often leaves private investors vulnerable to unexpected events. For instance, in 2022, supply chain issues and labor shortages contributed to rising inflation. The Fed’s initial belief that inflation was temporary only fueled consumer spending, triggering these "animal spirits" and leading to speculative investments—like those who jumped into Bitcoin at its peak, influenced more by hype than a solid grasp of its fundamentals.

Looking ahead to 2023 and beyond, we’re seeing a rise in passive investing that introduces significant market volatility and could even create bubble-like conditions. Many passive investors continue to buy the dip, often disregarding the economic landscape. While passive investing has its merits, it’s crucial to remain mindful of how much you invest across different macroeconomic cycles. Understanding these risks can guide your decisions about allocating to other asset classes, such as bonds, cash, FX, or alternative assets, to either generate alpha or hedge against the risks of your passive long-term investments.

It's worth noting that it took seven years for the S&P 500 to recover from the losses incurred during the bear market of 2007. The Nikkei, as a benchmark of the Japanese financial market, experienced "the Lost Decades," taking 24 years to trade above its 1996 peak and 20 years to return to its 1996 average price. Therefore, grasping macroeconomic factors is essential to avoiding the shock of lost decades, which can happen to any economy facing a combination of asset bubble collapses and deflationary spirals after a period of inflated stock and real estate prices.
