Description: "Macro Trading and Investment Strategies is the first thorough examination of one of the most proficient and enigmatic trading strategies in use today - global macro. More importantly, it introduces an innovative strategy to this popular hedge fund investment style - global macroeconomic arbitrage.".

"Dr. Burstein proposes a new global macro strategy that is nondirectional and more objective. The classic global macro strategy utilizes macroeconomic information to anticipate market direction through subjective views. As a result, global macro has a strong subjective-directional component.

Based on objective mispricings of macroeconomic information in stock market index and stock sector index spreads, a new long/short arbitrage strategy is presented here that capitalizes on the correction of objective macroeconomic mispricings. These macro arbitrage strategies are evaluated and tested in volatile markets such as the "domino effect" of the global financial crises of 1997-1998 that led to a hedge fund crisis.

In fact, the book shows how global financial crises create strong macro arbitrage opportunities while also being a catalyst for correcting preexistent macro mispricings."--BOOK JACKET.
