Best Macro Shops/PMs

Know there are similar threads on this platform, but think this would be a nice place to get a refreshed view.

Which are the best macro shops?

- If not a SM, which of the PMs there are really exceptional?
- What makes that fund particularly strong - better infrastructure, talent, risk management etc?

- What is their main focus: Rates centric, or more cross asset? - Within each, which subcategory for e.g. if rates centric, could be swap spreads, Curve distributions, xccy basis etc

- What about their process stands out?
- Where do you see the edge in macro in the near future?
