Mike Green, chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, says that we're living through "a period of genuine uncertainty, and a period in which forecasts that would have been made even three or four months ago no longer seem to have any real validity." He says that the current set up for a trade/tariff war is setting the economy up for a repeat of real troubles, and made comparisons as varied as the Great Depression, the Covoid downturn, the Great Financial Crisis and others, and while he is optimistic that those dire scenarios can still be avoided, he also says that investors can't rule them out. Rahul Sen Sharma, president and co-chief executive officer at Indxx discusses how global markets — and indexes representing various regions and industries around the world — are performing amid the current market uncertainty. Plus, Raymond Bridges of the Bridges Capital Tactical ETF brings his "aggressively cautious" approach — which melds macroeconomic big-picture views with technical analysis and volatility factors — to the Market Call.

Vorbörslich rutschten die US-Aktienfutures am großen Verfall, dem Hexensabbat am Freitagmorgen ab, während der S&P 500 versucht, eine vierwöchige Verlustserie zu beenden, die durch handelspolitische Unsicherheiten, Rezessionsängste und den Ausverkauf von Megacap-Tech-Aktien ausgelöst wurde. Teilweise ist der Verkaufsdruck auch ausgelöst durch die wichtigsten US-Gewinnberichte vom Donnerstagabend, die netto negativ ausfielen , darunter FDX (EPS-Verfehlung und Prognosekürzung), LEN (schwache Preise und Margen) und NKE (gute Ergebnisse im dritten Quartal, aber Prognose für das vierte Quartal unter dem Leitzins). Der S&P 500-Futures fiel um 0,2 %, der Dow Jones verlor 111 Punkte (0,3 %) und die Nasdaq 100-Futures sanken um 0,3 %. Am Donnerstag gab der S&P 500 um 0,2 % nach, der Nasdaq Composite fiel um 0,3 % und der Dow verlor leicht um 11,31 Punkte (0,03 %). Trotzdem könnte der S&P 500 diese Woche um 0,4 % zulegen und die Verlustserie beenden, nachdem er während der einmonatigen Talfahrt kurz in den Korrekturbereich eingetaucht war. Die Markterholung verbuchte am Mittwoch starke Gewinne, nachdem die US-Notenbank ihre Zinssenkungsprognose beibehielt. Dennoch erhöhte die Fed ihren Inflationsausblick und senkte Wachstumserwartungen, was Sorgen über Stagflation schürt. Unsicherheiten über Trumps Zollpolitik drücken ebenfalls auf die Märkte, wie Fed-Chef Jerome Powell warnte, könnten diese den Inflationsfortschritt verzögern.

“This is not your father's ETF market” would be one statement used to highlight the ever-expanding product mix available to investors via exchange traded funds. Today's suite of ETFs embeds derivatives, targets non-traditional assets like private credit and crypto and can offer daily resetting leverage as well. Add to this, efforts to deliver exposures to quantitative investment strategies via the ETF wrapper. With this in mind, it was a pleasure to welcome Roxton McNeal, lead portfolio manager of the QIS product at Simplify Asset Management to the Alpha Exchange. Our conversation begins with a review of Roxton's background at the UPS Pension and as an active client of the Street's in utilizing QIS in the plan's efforts to deliver returns above a fixed income bogey for retirees. We explore a broad taxonomy of types of quantitative investment strategies, rules-based trades that Roxton puts into two categories, defensive and carry. We spend a fair amount of time exploring the concept of carry, which he suggests results from market frictions, risk aversion and liquidity premia.  He further breaks down the carry bucket into trend, absolute return and volatility carry. Here, and with the pitfalls of back-testing front and center, I ask him to share his thoughts on how he evaluates carry strategies. Stress testing and scenario analysis are critical, especially as they relate to properly sizing exposures. We finish the discussion on what might be coming next to the fast-moving ETF landscape. Here, Roxton volunteers the potential for the tokenization of assets in markets like commodities or real estate, bundled into an ETF via smart contracts. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Roxton McNeal.

On today's episode, we get reaction to a higher-than-expected US inflation print from Michael Green, Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management. Plus - a preview of earnings from Nissan and Honda with James Hong, Head of Asia Autos at Macquarie Capital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A major theme of Alpha Exchange podcasts over the years has been the impact that financial products that live and breathe within the markets have on asset clearing prices. Events like the crash of 1987, the GFC, the 2018 XIV event or the unwind of short variance exposure in March 2020 come to mind as examples. More recently, the substantial growth of leveraged ETF products has gotten a lot of attention, as a potentially amplifying factor with respect to underlying asset volatility.With this in mind, it was a pleasure to welcome Mike Green, a partner and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management back to the Alpha Exchange. Our conversation drills down on leveraged products written on MSTR, the bitcoin buying company. Mike first describes how a leveraged product's rebalancing requirement resembles a short straddle, buying when the underlying rises and selling when it falls. He next makes the case that the two times leveraged long products, MSTU and MSTX, are unique in that they are large in size and written on an underlying that is extremely asset.This creates the potential for vol amplifying feedback loops that result from the extremely large daily re-hedging. Mike believes the leveraged complex has contributed to the large premium of MSTR to the value of its bitcoin holdings. We talk as well about the costs being borne by the ETFs who have been forced to utilize the options market as the swap providers have reportedly limited the amount of leverage they are willing to provide.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Mike Green.

Hosts Ben Felix and Cameron Passmore welcome Harvard Business School senior lecturer Randy Cohen and Simplify Asset Management's Mike Green for an in-depth debate about passive investing's impact on financial markets. They explore whether the rise of index funds and target date funds poses systemic risks, discussing market efficiency, price elasticity, and implications for investors.   Whether you're trying to understand the mechanics of passive investing or evaluating potential market risks, this episode provides a balanced debate between two leading thinkers with contrasting views on one of today's most important market structure questions.

Of all the concepts focused on throughout the discussions hosted on the Alpha Exchange, the notion of “carry” is one of my favorites. In its most basic definition, carry measures the income or cost to holding an asset in the steady state, when nothing changes. Underpinning the assessment of value in any option trade or strategy is a view on the favorability of carry at a given point in time. Can I own options for free or at least at meaningful discounts to their value? Mr. Market makes this very unlikely.  Can I be especially well compensated for being short optionality? These are challenging questions, worthy of careful study. And in this context, it was a pleasure to welcome Shailesh Gupta, the Head of Structural Alpha at Simplify Asset Management to the podcast. Our conversation explores areas of carry in the market, why they exist, how they can be harvested and what can go wrong in the process. Shailesh shares his views on the pricing of interest rate volatility, where the vol risk premium has been especially high and how that fits into product design at his firm's ETF platform. We talk also about risk – including the crowding episode in VIX products in 2017 leading into the XIV event of 2018. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Shailesh Gupta.

In this episode, we are joined by Simplify Asset Management's Mike Green. We build on our previous episodes with Mike where we discussed his research on the impact of passive investing on the market and focus on its practical implications and how it impacts how investors construct their portfolios.

Michael Green, chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, says that the economy is showing signs of slowing in some ways, while still having some measures being strong, and a lot of it is determined by consumers where the division between the haves and have-nots are growing, and where current conditions hurt people with less money dramatically more than the wealthy. Green says people are confusing the stock market's run to record highs as strength for the economy, which he says is misplaced, but which he says has handcuffed the Federal Reserve on rate cuts because it's hard to say that moves are needed when markets are peaking. In the Talking Technicals segment, Tom Samuelson, chief investment officer at Vineyard Global Advisors, says he'll stay bullish despite expecting a 3 to 5 percent correction now and a 5 to 10 percent dip closer to the election; he's optimistic because "strength begets strength," and a strong first half of the year bodes well for gains in the second half, as does increasing breadth supporting an uptrend. Plus, Jason Akus, head of healthcare investing at abrdn — manager of the firm's four closed-end funds covering healthcare — gives his current take on the healthcare and biotech space, noting that the sectors last rallied around the vaccine makers during the pandemic but they are now showing signs of the next big rally, and Rachel Perez discusses research from Preply showing which side gigs provide the best wages and most job stability.

There is a mechanical force that pushes asset prices higher as capital flows passively into the market every month. As more money flows in, it must be used to purchase assets, at whatever current price they're trading at. That valuation-insensitive purchasing results in higher and higher prices. Today's guest refers to this current system as the "giant mindless robot". And, in his view, has deformed our financial markets into a gargantuan ponzi scheme of unprecedented scale. One that someday must go bust, as all ponzis do. For all the details on this, we'll spend the next hour with Michael Green, portfolio manager & chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management.

Markets are back to all-time highs and volatility is normalizing, with the rate outlook for the remainder of the year coming into clearer focus. Is it too much of a good thing? Who better to ask than bond market guru, the creator of the MOVE index of implied interest rate volatility and managing partner at Simplify Asset Management, Harley Bassman. This week's conversation explores the Fed's easing cycle, the shift in policymakers' focus from inflation to the labor market and the overlooked importance of demographics. Harley also talks through the creation of the MOVE index, the implications that his view on rate volatility has for mortgage backed securities and why investors should avoid credit and duration risks.

Dan and Corey kick things off by discussing bitcoin hitting a new multiyear high. They also critique a popular bullish argument for bitcoin, which is based off the U.S. dollar collapsing. After, they talk about the S&P 500 Index surpassing 5,000 for the first time ever and whether this level is sustainable in the long term. (0:40) Next, Harley Bassman of Simplify Asset Management joins the conversation and explains a concept called "convexity." He covers the three kinds of risk in bond investing, why short convexity is always lurking during market downturns, and why negative convexity is so difficult for investors to process. (24:53) Harley also goes into detail on mortgage-backed securities funds. He describes what mortgage bonds are, why they yield more than corporate bonds, and how the Federal Reserve plays a huge role in all of this. (32:20)  Lastly, Harley talks about Simplify and how it offers a unique service by jamming derivatives of all kinds (futures, options, etc.) into ETFs so civilians can invest in them. He also discusses what it was like working at Merrill Lynch during the great financial crisis, gives general investing advice, and explains what pin risk is. (48:55)

The officially-reported headline GDP, jobs and inflation numbers look pretty rosy right now. But how much of that is due to actual, healthy sustainable economic activity vs extraordinary government intervention? Deficit spending as a percentage of GDP is currently at heights not seen outside of major wartimes and government jobs have surged, total federal employment reached its highest level in at least 20 years last year. Is the government putting its thumb on the scale here? And if so, is that a good or bad thing? To discuss, we're fortunate to be joined by Michael Green, portfolio manager & chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management. WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Harley Bassman, a.k.a. the Convexity Maven, is a legend among bond investors. He worked at Merrill Lynch, where he invented the MOVE Index that measures bond market volatility, and then at Pimco. Now, after a dramatic year for US Treasuries that saw investors hit with massive amounts of volatility only for the 10-year yield to basically wind up where it was at the start of 2023, he sees things starting to get a bit more normal. With the Federal Reserve getting closer to its 2% inflation target, the yield curve is going to steepen after years of intense inversion, he says. Now a managing partner at Simplify Asset Management, Bassman also talks about his favorite trades for 2024, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's legacy, and how he chooses his famously esoteric chart colors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historically, investors have predominantly relied on traditional assets such as stocks and bonds to build portfolios. These classic investments have undoubtedly proven their worth over time. However, the modern era has ushered in new opportunities that challenge the status quo. Liquid alternatives, also known as alternative investments, are at the forefront of this revolution.  In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Michael Green, Portfolio Manager and Chief Strategist at Simplify Asset Management. Michael has been a student of markets and market structure for nearly 30 years. His proprietary research into the shift from actively managed portfolios and investment funds to systematic passive investment strategies has been presented to the Federal Reserve, the BIS, the IMF, and numerous other industry groups and associations. Michael joined Simplify in April 2021 after serving as Chief Strategist and Portfolio Manager for Logica Capital Advisers. Known for his expertise in alternative investments, Mike talks to Rusty and Robyn about the rise of liquid alternatives, such as ETFs and managed futures, and their benefits to investors. He emphasizes the need for diversification and the opportunity to do something different in a market dominated by passive equity and bond exposure. Mike also shares insights on the role of commodities in portfolios.  Key Takeaways [02:18] - Mike's background and how he got to his current position. [03:38] - How Simplify differs from other investment firms. [05:02] - Why investors should consider investing in alternatives. [06:33] - Mike's thoughts on liquid alternatives such as ETFs.

It's a strategy that does really well in periods of uncertainty, moving to the resolution of that uncertainty." ~ Michael Green [15:13] - "Commodities are something that we require on a go-forward basis. It's one of the better vehicles for protecting yourself against potential inflationary outcomes. It's also one of the more powerful tools for effectively isolating very significant changes in either supply or demand characteristics in the global economy." ~ Michael Green Links  Michael Green on LinkedIn Michael Green on Twitter Michael Green's Substack Simplify Asset Management Highway to Hell by AC/DC Logica Funds Canyon Partners Facts and Fantasies about Commodity Futures Grant Williams Mitchell Julis Matt Stoller BIG by Matt Stoller Honestly Podcast Hidden Forces Podcast Danielle DiMartino Booth Connect with Us Meet Rusty Vanneman, Orion's Chief Investment Officer Check Out All of Orion's Podcasts Power Your Growth with Orion 3072-OPS-11/10/2023

BIO: Harley Bassman is an industry thought leader and commentator on macroeconomic issues spanning decades.STORY: In 2019, Harley bought some calls and sold some puts on Citibank stock for a cost strategy.

He believed the stocks would increase because all its peers were trading above their book value. Harley put more into this trade than he logically should have.

When you make an investment, invest enough so that your gain can be worthwhile.Sizing is more critical than entry-level.Andrew's takeawaysBe very careful when investing in banks because if their equity gets hit, the value of their assets could fall.Actionable adviceDon't fall into a value trap. Be careful of single names because there's always a lottery effect that you can never predict.Harley's recommendationsHarley recommends reciting his Maven mantra: Number one, it's always about character.

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by Michael "Mike" Green. Mike is the chief strategist and portfolio manager of Simplify Asset Management – an investment advisory firm. He has spent nearly 30 years studying markets and market structures, and he brings his decades of insight to today's show. But first, Dan and Corey discuss the evolving landscape of the bond market, the opportunity in Treasury bills, and the potential impact of high bond yields on the broader investment world. Corey warns... Take advantage of it now, because if the economy goes in the crapper in the future, the [bond] rates are going to go down when the Fed cuts [interest] rates. Mike then joins the conversation to delve into the world of passive investing, which involves never transacting and only ever holding assets. This leads to a strategy of mindless buying: [The stock market is] marching upwards, being led by a very few number of extremely large-cap stocks that have relatively limited growth prospects... In real terms, PepsiCo's sales are down over the last decade. This is true for companies like Apple where their sales growth, since the introduction of the iPhone 5, [is] stagnant... certainly not justifying the types of valuations that we see. Finally, Mike details how the Federal Reserve can influence the markets with interest rates, and in turn how interest rates can affect passive investing. Moreover, he highlights the unique opportunity in the bond market and explains why bonds are an attractive option for investors. ➡️ Watch Here

In 2021, high school boys on TikTok were pumping meme coins and discovering (then misapplying) the concept of exponential compounding. Today, with the benefit of hindsight, we can learn a lot about what crypto's rapid rise and fall might mean about money. Plus, we're going down the rabbit hole of the competing theories about what money really is: Why do we all agree it has value? What happens if the government keeps making more of it, and is crypto the wrong solution for the right problem?

Our summer finance series continues.  Up next is Mike Green, the Chief Strategist of Simplify Asset Management and the author of what most investment professionals consider to be a must-read weekly newsletter.  Mike is a very sophisticated global macro investor with an incredible track record and is one of the most respected thought leaders in global finance.  As you'll see in this episode, he has a knack for taking very complex ideas and explaining them in ways we can actually understand.I wanted to have Mike on the show because he has some really important perspectives about investing, the direction of the economy, potentially consequential nuances in market dynamics, and much, much more.  I had high hopes for this conversation and it did not disappoint.  We covered fascinating ground and talked about everything from the brewing signs of trouble in real estate and high-yield debt to China's demand problem to the surprising relationship between the rise of passive investing and the problem of capital misallocation in the broader economy.  As you'll see in this episode, Mike's understanding of these issues is jut at a different level.  But like all true great investors, he approaches things with both self-understanding a sense of humility.  With Mike you won't get hype or hyperbole or anything like that but you will get incredibly deep understanding and nuance.  I, for one, would take that all day. Thanks for tuning-in!You can follow @NickHalaris on Instagram and Twitter for all the Nick Halaris Show Updates.  To receive Nick's weekly Profit+ Newsletter subscribe at https://nickhalaris.beehiiv.com/

Whether you're currently a senior citizen or hope to live long enough to become one some day, funding our elder years is becoming a bigger & bigger challenge. For many if not most Americans, Social Security will serve as the bedrock foundation for the income they can expect to receive later in life. But how does that program work exactly? What are the pitfalls and the best practices we should be aware of in deciding when and how to enroll in it? And for those currently not yet seniors, will there even be a Social Security program to rely on by the time we are? To provide answers to these and many more of the surprisingly tricky questions around Social Security, we're fortunate to speak with certified financial planner Mary Beth Franklin – author of the book “Maximizing Your Social Security Retirement Benefits”. As we enter the second half of 2023, will the stronger-than-expected recovery in the markets continue? Or will forces, such as the lag effect of the Fed's hawkishly aggressive policies over the past year, ruin the current party? For insight, it helps to talk to those tasked with captaining client capital through the seas ahead. Today, we're fortunate to hear from Michael Green, portfolio manager & chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management. ************************************************* At Wealthion, we show you how to protect and build your wealth by learning from the world's top experts on finance and money. Each week we add new videos that provide you with access to the foremost specialists in investing, economics, the stock market, real estate and personal finance. We offer exceptional interviews and explainer videos that dive deep into the trends driving today's markets, the economy, and your own net worth. We give you strategies for financial security, practical answers to questions like “how to grow my investments?”, and effective solutions for wealth building tailored to 'regular' investors just like you. There's no doubt that it's a very challenging time right now for the average investor. Above and beyond the recent economic impacts of COVID, the new era of record low interest rates, runaway US debt and US deficits, and trillions of dollars in monetary and fiscal stimulus stimulus has changed the rules of investing by dangerously distorting the Dow index, the S&P 500, and nearly all other asset prices. Can prices keep rising, or is there a painful reckoning ahead? Let us help you prepare your portfolio just in case the future brings one or more of the following: inflation, deflation, a bull market, a bear market, a market correction, a stock market crash, a real estate bubble, a real estate crash, an economic boom, a recession, a depression, or another global financial crisis.
