I speak with my a great voice of independent research in London on the topics of using alternative data for FX and macro research for quantitative strategies. We talk a lot about Saeed’s well known work in macro-economics, in FX research, as well as his well known and regarded book.

Reflections on Fiduciary Investors Symposium, Toronto
The Fiduciary Investors Symposium was held in May in Toronto. Conexus Institute executive director David Bell shares his reflections through the lens of a researcher focused on Australia’s superannuation system and a former pension fund CIO, and someone with a strong academic background in all things investment and pension related.
