Why Subscribe?

  • Bold Calls: Marko does not shy from making the uncomfortable, out-of-consensus, calls. His constraints framework comes alive precisely when the consensus is most certain.
  • Big Picture Focus: On a tactical and cyclical horizon, GeoMacro focuses on the Big Five Macro Assets: S&P 500, US 10-year Treasury, Gold, Oil, and the Dollar.
  • Thematic and Long Term: On the long-term, GeoMacro looks to find beta opportunities that can be easily integrated into one’s Strategic Asset Allocation.
  • Tested on the Buy Side: Some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated investors have incorporated Marko’s framework into their asset allocation process.
  • Closes a Gap in the Macro Framework: Macro-economics is a necessary but insufficient theoretical foundation with which to generate alpha and reveal beta in today’s market environment. Investors must add macro-geopolitics –GeoMacro – to their toolbox to navigate contemporary markets.

Investing in today’s markets without properly incorporating geopolitics is like trying to land a plane without modern instrumentation. It can be done, but why risk it?
