Ever wondered what global macro trading looks like at the world's most elite hedge funds like Citadel, Balyasny, and Bluecrest?  You might imagine you'd need a tremendous grasp of the markets, an ability to analyze and interpret massive amounts of data & research, and a talent for identifying the optimal vehicles for expressing your views.  Now imagine doing all of this...without being able to SEE.

We are joined an incredibly special guest for our one-year podcast anniversary: global macro investor Ashish Goyal.  Over the past 15 years, Ashish has managed portfolios for marquee hedge funds and institutions such as Citadel, BlueCrest, Balyasny, and J.P. Morgan CIO.

Ashish has the dual distinctions of not only being the world’s first visually impaired graduate of The Wharton School, but also the world’s first visually impaired investor-trader on Wall Street.  More importantly, Ashish has been honored with India’s highest civilian award for a disabled individual – the National Award for the empowerment of persons with disability by the President of India and has also been recognized as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum.

Ashish also serves on the Board of The Inclusion Initiative at the London School of Economics (LSE) in the UK and the Rising Flame in India. In the past, he has served on the Board of the Peek Vision Foundation in the UK, has passionately supported Theatre and Arts, and has represented the winning team in the UK domestic blind cricket tournament at the London Metro Club.


Ashish embodies an overflowing spirit of a holistic and balanced life. A practitioner of meditation and a believer in human ingenuity, Ashish continues to support passionate and dedicated charities addressing education, disabilities, human rights, sports, environment, and the
