Eric on The Derivative Podcast - April 2020

Eric, CIO of Standpoint, joins Jeff Malec on The Derivative podcast. In the long introduction, Eric shares a little about his childhood and his college days before entering the finance industry. Later in the podcast, Eric and Jeff discuss building trading strategies and how designing an anti-fragile system is of paramount importance.

Key Takeways

Eric compares using diversifying assets such as commodities and currencies to a chalky vitamin – they’re good for you, but not always easy to swallow. Standpoint’s approach allows investors to get what’s good for them, but in a way that’s ‘digestible,’ i.e. the Gummy Vitamin.
Investment approaches with global macro themes have been around for decades and over the past 20 years, investment managers have been able to systematize those approaches.
Eric believes that understanding why your system is deserving of a sustainable profitable return should be the most important principal of any investment strategy.

Give them that gummy bear vitamin so we can all win.
