In the inaugural HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar for 2023, we discuss some of the lingering concerns surrounding the economy and markets and what this might mean for investors. In summary, we think 2023 could be the year where being different pays off. We discuss why we believe that investors should consider focusing on international equity markets over domestic, emphasizing value-oriented strategies instead of growth, watching for signs of a resurgence in active management vs. passive and avoiding the largest weights in the major indices. We hope you enjoy the episode.     You can @ us on Twitter @HedgeD_Podcast or email us directly at HedgeD@morgancreekcap.com    Visit us on the web at https://www.morgancreekcap.com/opportunistic-equity/   Join our almost monthly HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar series by emailing HedgeD@morgancreekcap.com   And subscribe to our YouTube channel by visiting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8RssLKui3GNrxlOtYk6jRQ

In this episode, we replay the June 2022 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” Webinar, where we provided an update on a long standing, high conviction Growth-oriented theme – Cloud Migration / Software. You get a few great buying opportunities a decade in this secular growth theme and we think the sharp selloff in the space currently is likely one of them. The backdrop is opportunity-rich, yet skilled security selection will be critical to capitalizing on the buying opportunity in the midst of a broader economic slowdown. We outline the prevailing opportunity set as we see it and more in this episode of HedgeD.

In this episode, we replay the April 2022 HedgeD With A Capital “D” webinar, where we provided an update on an idea we put out there last September about why we think equity long/short could be the new 60/40. Given price action in stock and bond markets so far year-to-date, we thought an update on our thinking would be timely.

Andrew Schmeelk, Mark Yusko and Cory Lester walk listeners through the opportunity set at a high level with the support of the webinar slides. We would encourage you to tune into the webinar series live each month or watch the replays on our YouTube channel (the link can be found in the show notes below), but if podcasts are your preferred medium of content consumption, we completely understand.
