Global Macro themes on one page

We have always been asked to present what we think are the key global macro issues on one page. In a busy world, can everything be condensed into something that is quick and easy to remember? We try and make that happen.

Our one page is broken into three parts, long-term views, factors themes, and asset class themes. The long-term views will not change often but hang over the markets and filter the thinking of global macro managers. The factors themes describe the big issues through what would be the key actors that affect returns. The asset class theme will be the classic performance drivers for any diversified portfolio.

There can be significant analysis on any one of these issue, but our focus is on the theme, the story behind the theme, the short-term view, and what should be watched. This is a work in progress and will be updated regularly. The purpose is to focus discussion. You may not agree with the themes or the story, but if it causes you to think, it has done its job.
