Currency Pitch Rather Than Stock Pitch?

Hi Everyone,

I was curious to hear the WSO community's opinion on doing a pitch for a currency pair rather than doing equities for global macro hedge fund interviews. I'm currently a sophomore at a non-target and have been studying FX since I was in high school (2015). I have an economic model built that gives me fundamental views on all G10 and some EM currency pairs and it would be fairly easy for me to construct a detailed pitch for FX pairs that I like. I'm pretty passionate about FX markets so I'm not exactly doing this to stand out but rather demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of this asset class. Should I spend my time constructing a pitch for FX or should I just learn equities and stick with that for interviews?

Please move this if it isn't in the appropriate forum.

Thanks.
