Understanding Macro Investing

Macro investing involves creating investment strategies based on wide-scale economic trends and shifts that can influence various markets. Unlike value investors, who focus on the intrinsic value of individual assets, macro investors assess how global and national changes may create opportunities across different sectors. For instance, a macro investor may recognize a trend in a tech sector innovation or geopolitical shifts that signify a ripple effect on financial markets. This perspective allows macro investors to identify diverse opportunities rather than being limited to traditional asset evaluations.
