In today´s difficult investment environment, where geopolitical and social instability compound an already challenging search for higher returns, hedge funds have outperformed. As a result, assets under management have exploded and top investment talent has migrated over to hedge funds. Amidst the growth and evolution of the business, one strategy-global macro-has remained true to its original mandate of absolute return investing, which seeks outsized returns from investments anywhere in the world, in any asset class, and in any instrument.

Although successful money managers often have a reputation for being reluctant to discuss their market views and trading strategies, this book opens the door to the typically opaque world of hedge funds-particularly global macro investing- and offers a rare glimpse into a high-intensity environment where enormous stakes are a part of everyday life. As cofounder and partner of Drobny Global Advisors - an international macroeconomic research and advisory firm -author Steven Drobny has access to a broad selection of today´s top global macro hedge fund managers. Through detailed interviews with more than a dozen of these individuals, Drobny provides you with an inside look at how these money managers view world markets and offers subtle insights into how they make money.

First, you will receive an introduction to global macro from a professional investor´s perspective. Then, you will discover how some key historical events have shaped this field. You will also learn how future events, such as increased competition and specialization, are pushing today´s global macro manager into the realm of global micro investing.
