Ep 1. Heavyweight Macro Trading

Trader Chats

In the episode Imran Lakha, founder of Options Insight, talks to Shrenick Shah, a head macro portfolio manager at a major asset management firm.

They met at LSE university, more than 20 years ago, and both began their career in equity derivatives at top tier investment banks.

Since then, Shrenick has moved on to the buy side, where he leads a team of macro PMs. They discuss Shrenick’s macro framework, key drivers such as growth, inflation, sentiment and liquidity. They also explore the idea of trading across multiple durations and the way to diversify or hedge risk with either volatility products or alternative asset classes.

Imran quizzes Shrenick on his views around crypto and how the established asset management community feels about this emerging asset class.

Finally, they touch on the main question for asset allocators in 2022, will we see inflation or deflation as we get into the second half of the year and what should a robust portfolio look like.
