Global Trader - David Murrin
Global Forecaster provides a unique alpha-generation capability, using an in-house geopolitical overview of macro events based on David Murrin’s models of collective human behaviour. These have enabled accurate predictions of UK and US elections, the onset and end of the Covid pandemic, the recent surges in inflation and the dynamics of Russia and China’s hegemonic challenges in relation to the onset of WW3. All with a focus on profitable asset allocation and market timing, achieved by combining geopolitical predictions with our market behavioural models.
This produces actionable real-time market analysis across seven macro sectors: commodities, equity indices, bonds, FX, crypto currencies and EM indices and currencies, covering some 80 individual macro markets. Along with a parallel long/short market-analysis programme covering 200 shares. Both products have demonstrated an outstanding Alpha generation track record.
Geopolitical and market calls are made only when significant opportunities are located, and structured within a risk framework. This service is designed to provide long-term and medium-term investment outlooks with precise short-term risk-controlled entry points. David’s work challenges entrenched assumptions and often the market consensus, whilst sharing astute practical examples from history that provide asset-management roadmaps to guide you through today’s turbulent realities.
About David
David has been described as a polymath. His financial career of more than three decades has focussed on finding and understanding collective human behavioural patterns and then using them to project future events. He has a remarkable track record that goes back to 1990, when whilst at JPM he developed a unique and effective set of behavioural models to predict financial markets, which were extremely effective and profitable. They acted as the foundation for his 20-year career as CIO of his hedge fund Emergent, which achieved some remarkable returns in especially in bear markets (e.g. 84% in 2008).
David follows Winston Churchill’s maxim “The farther back you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” He has combined his fascination with military history, geopolitics and finance into a unified geopolitical model, published in Breaking the Code of History in 2009. This book highlights the key factors in today's changing world, as power shifts from the West to the East. His central idea is the Five-Phase Life Cycle of Empire, which analyses and “decodes” the rise and fall of empires throughout history, from the Roman Empire right through to the rise of China today. He also points out the many factors that influence the rise and fall of regions and countries, including demographics, climate change and its impact on scarce resources, and technology. Whilst these forces take decades to build up, much like tectonic plates straining motionless at their boundaries, they can be released over a very short time. Today we are living through the release of just such huge geopolitical forces, which will change our world significantly.
