GLOBAL MACRO

Global macro is a hedge fund investment strategy that bases its holdings primarily on the overall economic and political views of various countries. Hedge fund managers applying a global macro strategy use forecasts and analysis about interest rate trends, political changes, government policies, and other broad factors. Global macro managers carry long and short positions in any of the world’s major capital or derivative markets. These funds include stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities.
