More importantly, it introduces an innovative strategy to this popular hedge fund investment style - global macroeconomic arbitrage. In Macro Trading and Investment Strategies, Dr. Burstein presents, with examples, the framework for traditional global macro strategies, then shows how to use macroeconomic mispricings in global financial markets to design innovative global macroeconomic arbitrage strategies for trading and investing. Packed with revealing trading case studies, examples, explanations, and definitions, this comprehensive work covers: * Global directional macro, long/short macro, and macroeconomic arbitrage trading and investment strategies * Causes of macroeconomic mispricings in markets; tackling secondary macroeconomic variables in trades * The importance of technical timing in macro arbitrage * Volatility of macro arbitrage strategies versus volatility of relative-value strategies * Mispricing opportunities due to the effect of the Asian crisis on global markets * Macro arbitrage of the EMU convergence mispricing in equity markets * Mispricings of retail sales, GDP, industrial production, interest rates, and exchange rates in stock markets In-depth and timely, Macro Trading and Investment Strategies covers an area of intense interest to today's trading and investment community and shows new opportunities. It is invaluable reading for those seeking new ways to tackle today's volatile global markets.
