why does global macro get so little attention on wso?
I get the IB —> PE —> HF golden path, but global macro founds seem to do interesting work and are big players in the HF space. Am I missing something here?
Because it’s not straight forward to get into and equities still make up 40-50% of assets in hedge funds
Will also add that discretionary global macro has become more niche ever since the prop desks went away in 2008 (the original training grounds for that path) + the rise and practicality of quant approaches over discretionary for global macro. Also this board focuses on the most popular method for entering finance which is via IB which lends itself to fundamental investing. Might have to check out the S&T sub on WSO- I’ve never been there actually, but all these commodity and global macro guys at the pod shops have to come from somewhere.
Fundamental ls equity aum is much larger than macro aum

Way harder to get a seat in
