## Investment Strategy by Regime
|
|
|
|
### Stagflation (High Inflation + Slow Growth)
|
|
```
|
|
Asset Allocation:
|
|
- Underweight: Long-duration bonds, growth stocks
|
|
- Overweight: Commodities, real assets, value stocks
|
|
- Hedge: TIPS, gold, energy stocks
|
|
|
|
Rationale:
|
|
- High inflation erodes real returns
|
|
- Slow growth pressures earnings
|
|
- Hard assets preserve purchasing power
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Goldilocks (Moderate Growth + Low Inflation)
|
|
```
|
|
Asset Allocation:
|
|
- Overweight: Growth stocks, credit
|
|
- Neutral: Commodities
|
|
- Underweight: Cash (opportunity cost high)
|
|
|
|
Rationale:
|
|
- Best environment for risk assets
|
|
- Central banks accommodative
|
|
- Multiple expansion + earnings growth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Deflation (Falling Prices + Recession)
|
|
```
|
|
Asset Allocation:
|
|
- Overweight: Long-duration treasuries, quality stocks
|
|
- Underweight: Commodities, cyclicals, credit
|
|
- Hedge: Volatility products, defensive sectors
|
|
|
|
Rationale:
|
|
- Cash is king (purchasing power rises)
|
|
- Bonds rally (rates cut to zero)
|
|
- Earnings collapse (avoid leverage)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Policy Analysis
|
|
|
|
### Fed Decision Tree
|
|
```
|
|
If Inflation > 3% AND Unemployment < 4%:
|
|
→ Hawkish (raise rates, drain liquidity)
|
|
→ Market Impact: Stocks down, dollar up
|
|
|
|
If Inflation < 2% AND Unemployment > 5%:
|
|
→ Dovish (cut rates, add liquidity)
|
|
→ Market Impact: Stocks up, dollar down
|
|
|
|
If Inflation ≈ 2% AND Unemployment ≈ 4%:
|
|
→ Neutral (data-dependent, patient)
|
|
→ Market Impact: Grind higher, low vol
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Geopolitical Risk Assessment
|
|
```
|
|
Monitor:
|
|
- Trade policy (tariffs, sanctions)
|
|
- Energy supply (OPEC, Russia/Ukraine)
|
|
- China tensions (Taiwan, tech war)
|
|
- Emerging market crises (debt, currency)
|
|
|
|
Impact Channels:
|
|
- Supply chains → Inflation
|
|
- Safe haven flows → USD, gold, treasuries
|
|
- Risk premium → Equity volatility
|
|
```
|
|

## Key Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Markets Discount Future**: Price in macro changes 6-12 months ahead
|
|
2. **Fed Drives Markets**: Don't fight the Fed
|
|
3. **Cycles Repeat**: History rhymes (not repeats)
|
|
4. **Volatility Clusters**: Macro uncertainty → vol spikes
|
|
5. **Correlation Breaks Down**: Stress → everything correlates to 1
