Best macro minds of the next generation?

EDIT: Let's try this a different way. Leaving the legendary greats behind (Soros/Tudor/Bacon/Kovner/Druckenmiller/Howard/Platt), who are some of the top macro managers of the next generation? Hopefully this will generate a better list of less-renowned-but-still-excellent funds.

Most of the junior-level postings for the well-known multi-manager macro platforms that I've seen have been for quant/systematic roles, so instead of aiming for a discretionary "pod" within one of those platforms, I figure it'll be more effective to target discretionary-only shops...if only I knew which they were. Something like Keith Anderson's shop, or Argonaut.

As for why discretionary over systematic...I don't see myself capable of developing an edge in the latter, nor do I find it very interesting compared to the former.

Edit: what a troll. I know AHL and Winton are huge in the systematic space, so not going to bother looking up the rest...

Yeah Jim Rogers is... uh lol. Greg Coffey did make a killing at GLG though, but definitely not a mind of a generation.

Yeah, I do like some of the stuff he says, but at times he's a little too "zero hedge-ish" for me.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought which they seldom use.
