What happens when human intuition meets data-driven precision? In this deep-dive short from The New Barbarians Podcast, Mark Connors breaks down the seismic shift toward systematic global macro investing. From yield curve twists to easing trade tensions, from ARIMA and GARCH models to machine learning and relative value trades, this episode explores how investors are using rules-based systems to navigate today's complex markets. Learn how macro regimes, sector sensitivities, AI, and econometrics converge to generate alpha — and why discretion still matters in the age of automation.Link to the Paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5279491Link to Freely-Available Python Model:https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16bh8mX5KRHKCL-dXIOlSDmZsDIJQ9R3c#SystematicMacro #GlobalMacro #QuantInvesting #DiscretionaryVsSystematic #Macroeconomics #QuantitativeFinance #MachineLearning #YieldCurve #FactorInvesting #PortfolioConstruction #NewBarbariansPodcast #MarkConnors #DataDrivenInvesting #BehavioralFinance #AIinFinance #AlphaGeneration #RegimeAnalysis #RiskManagement #EconometricModels #DeepLearningInMacro
