Macro Allocation

Macro Allocation Inc. (MAI) is a subscription-based newsletter and model portfolio service. We provide subscribers with weekly macro analysis on topics that may impact equity, fixed income, commodity and foreign exchange markets. We also investigate market sectors to find particularly compelling price and value drivers. Our analysis, strategy and allocation suggestions consider the potential structural impact of economic and market tail events, which tend to be contrary to market consensus.

At the beginning of each quarter, MAI also posts two hypothetical model portfolios that position and weight investable assets. The model portfolios demonstrate our level of conviction stemming from our analysis. The Tactical portfolio has a six to 18-month investment horizon. It is an aggressive, highly-concentrated, long/short portfolio structured and maintained to seek positive real returns regardless of prevailing economic or market environments. The Multi-Asset Class All-Weather (MACAW) portfolio is a more traditional, diversified long-only portfolio structured to be sustainable and to seek alpha over a long-term horizon.

MAI typically publishes one or two pieces each week.

Buy Bonds, Sell Junk

We expect a minimum return of 25% (unlevered, in dollar terms) from Long Bonds by year-end 2018. High yield credit seems to be priced for perfection and investors seeking an expression for higher rates would do well to fade junk.

Trump, the Bag Holder

We should discover quickly the limited efficacy of Donald Trump’s economic initiatives. We expect central bank administered hyperinflation to begin during his term.​
