If you want to sharpen your macro investing skills and hear firsthand insights from a trader with decades of experience, this episode with Jonny Matthews is a must-listen. As a former partner at Brevan Howard, Jonny shares how he built his own research platform, SuperMacro, developed a disciplined approach to cut through market noise and transformed his trading by writing things down. He discusses risk management, why keeping things simple is key, and how bad trades (and bank sales pitches) taught him invaluable lessons. Jonny also reveals why he was labelled the "Recession Denier", why the market often misreads economic signals, and how an Actively Managed Certificate (AMC) became the best vehicle for his strategy. We explore the fine line between investing and gambling, the psychology of trading, and why emotional discipline is critical for success. This episode is packed with unfiltered insights, real war stories, and practical takeaways.
