SI272: Disrupting the Asset Management Industry ft. Andrew Beer
Top Traders Unplugged
Introduction
The hosts welcome Andrew Beer to discuss the impact of Powell's decision on the taper trade, the performance of CTA's in 2023, and the changing landscape of the wealth management industry.
Today, we are joined by Andrew Beer, who helps us uncover why managed futures have been struggling in 2023 and and what makes this year so different from 2022. We discuss the history of replication strategies all the way back to its origins and the intricacies of Andrew’s own replication strategy, and how disruptions have change the asset management industry and if the replicators are now facing their own competition from more pure CTA ETF offerings. We debate if Managed Futures have been "commoditized" and how the 60/40 portfolio is making a comeback this year and if 2022 was just a "fluke".
