🚀 Level up your macro skills with this 15-hour, self-paced macro bootcamp.

The importance of macro as an investment tool is greater than ever. In fact, macro forces account for about 75% of changes in stock returns. However, most investors and analysts focus mainly on bottom-up factors like earnings, while giving little attention to macro drivers. This blind spot helps explain why so many fund managers struggle to consistently beat their benchmarks.

That’s why we created our Macro Investing Bootcamp. It’s a much shorter overview of the high points covered in our full Macro Specialist Designation (M²SD) program—the only program that teaches a complete curriculum of macro principles and how to apply them directly to investing.

We also know a two-level, full-year program is a big commitment. So for those of you who want a preview, we built this 15-hour version of the course. In this shorter track, you’ll learn the essentials of applied macro investing: the forces of policy, the global backdrop, and how macro trends filter down into stock selection and portfolio strategy.

It’s completely self-paced, designed to fit into your schedule, and offers video lectures, downloadable slides, key takeaways, and practical exercises to check your understanding. If you decide you’d like to continue into the full program, the cost of this 15-hour course will be credited toward your enrollment in the complete M²SD.
