MM154: Quant Hedge Fund Strategy Explain...

AMPLIFYME
About this episode

The Catalyst/Millburn Hedge Strategy Fund employs a strategy based on their prediction that interest rates will remain steady due to high prices, and the Federal Reserve won't cut rates soon.


We explore how their trade is structured, the macroeconomic insights driving their thesis, and how hedge funds use derivatives for leverage and market neutrality strategies to manage risk.


Additionally, we discuss the recent surge of Sterling to a 21-month high against the Euro, even as the UK faces the uncertainties of an upcoming general election.


Tune in now and start learning more about finance in a fun and easy-to-understand way!
