RV doesn’t take directional bets on duration, curve, etc while macro does. RV takes advantages of dislocations in cash vs futures vs swaps vs anything else IR related. Both areas have done very well this year and should continue to now that the QE era has ended (for now).
Idk, seems like before 2020/2021, folks would have balked at a macro strategy because they don't like directional calls. What would be some of the differences between the two? I imagine a larger universe for macro, but RV would be more quantitative? Trying to understand what direction is best to go in
RV is quite quantitative, though most macro funds look for strong quant skills in candidates as well.

Can someone move between RV and macro?
