About the session
This webinar is brought to you by Endowus Singapore together with Wellington Management.
Hedge funds are not the most straightforward asset class to understand, save for expectations of their alpha generation possibilities.
A lesser known fact about this alternative investment is that hedge funds can come in different forms and types. A hedge fund based on a global macro strategy, for example, is one that is influenced by the overall economic and political views of the macroeconomic environment.
Endowus warmly invites you to the next session of our educational alternatives webinar series. We focus on what global macro hedge funds are and what makes them so different.
This session will be hosted by Min Axthelm, Director of Investment Research at Endowus, and she is joined by Christopher S. Perret, CFA, CAIA, Managing Director and Investment Director of Wellington Management. They will provide you with a basic understanding of global macro investing. Topics to be discussed will include:
- What is global macro investing and how does it work when it comes to hedge funds?
- What are the differences in various global macro strategies?
- How do global macro strategies complement traditional portfolio allocations?
