In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Brad Barrie, Co-Founder, Managing Director, and Chief Investment Officer at Dynamic Wealth Group, to unpack how global-macro investing helps investors prepare for uncertainty — not predict it.
From his Halloween-candy analogy on diversification to the risks hiding behind record valuations, Brad explains why hope isn’t a strategy, why true diversification means non-correlation, and how the Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund aims to thrive when others panic.
In this episode:
– Why diversification today often means being “badly diversified”
– How global macro can hedge against high valuations and volatility
– Why the Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (DYMAX) is built for flexibility
– How technicals and fundamentals work together in a macro framework
– Why investors need multiple drivers of return, not just hope
