Will The Levered Long Beta Trade Return

Most think that high(er) rates are here to stay for at least a few years and that high(er) long-term inflation is structural due to workforce dynamics, deglobalization, etc.

The consensus seems to be that the levered long beta trade (Tiger) is dead, which makes me think it could make sense to take the other side for a surprise comeback when a new cycle starts maybe in 2024.

Another thought is even if rates stay high, if multiples contract enough then a rising tide will lift all boats again.

What do you think?
