Great resource for aspiring macro investors

Hi everyone –

I’ve been a long-time user of WSO. It’s been a great resource for me in the past, and now I’m taking advantage of it again.

I’ve recently co-founded an independent provider of macro research called Invictus Research. The mission is to:

  1. Make Macro Simple – Macro has a reputation for being inscrutable. We make it simple.
  2. Provide Hedge Fund Quality Research to Everyone – Our research is available at retail price point (starting @ $59.99/month). I don’t know a better value in investment research. Not even close.

Why should you care?

  • If you’re buyside and don’t do macro, becoming macro-aware can add a lot of value to your process. Not necessarily a macro expert. Just macro-aware. A little bit goes a long way.
  • If you’re a student, learning how to distill the “signal from the noise” in terms of macro data is incredibly important. Even most professionals are terrible at it.
  • I’ll also add that people in finance love talking about the economy/markets socially. It helps to be aware of what’s going on/how it all fits together.
  • Tons of people want to learn more about macro but don’t know where to start. This is where to start.  

Also, most of our research is delivered through succinct, timely videos. Not long, boring reports.

If you have any questions our process, products, etc., fire away.

Or tweet at me @InvictusMacro.
