Macro PMs at Multi-Strategy HFs

Hi folks, I am a rates RV trader working at a hedge fund in an EM country, but i always wondered about some aspects of macro trading in the main shops. So for those working at pod shops/multi-strategy HFs, how is factor risk controlled at the pod level - is it enforced as intensively on the PM level as in the LS equity space? How many trades/positions do pods usually have on at any given time? How quick is the turnover of the book?

Tks for the help!
