Sub Index - Opportunistic Macro

This category is generally what most people think of when they think ‘Macro’ and represents the purest expression of discretionary macro trading. This cohort of managers attempt to generate all-weather absolute returns predominantly from fundamentally based predictions of macroeconomic developments ('big picture' portfolio) with trades implemented via liquid financial instruments and generally in a concentrated manner. The success of the strategy often relies heavily on active management (both at the underlying positions and relevant hedges), trade structuring and implementation to try enhance returns and avoid negative price action. This cohort of funds tends to be the most heterogeneous and specialized group of managers within Macro, with a wide variety of investment styles and asset classes traded.
