Few people understand hedge funds and macro the way Bob does — and he brings that depth straight into this conversation.Bob explains how Unlimited Funds uses proprietary machine-learning technology to create ETFs that replicate the returns of alternative investments — like hedge funds, all with notably lower fees. Amber digs into how this works, why individual hedge fund managers don’t outperform each other, and how Unlimited tracks the “wisdom of the crowd” in real time.From the chaotic Fed reaction function, to the U.S. macro data vacuum, to the truth behind the AI “investment boom” and the emerging risks in credit markets — Bob breaks down where the economy really stands and what most investors are missing. He also explains why household spending power is rolling over, what gold’s surge says about the market, and how hedge funds are actually positioned today.In a different type of Pro Picks, Amber walks through Bob’s full ETF lineup — including HFND, the Multi-Strategy Return Tracker; HFGM, the Global Macro ETF; HFEQ, the Equity Long/Short ETF; and HFMF, the Managed Futures ETF — and explores how these strategies can complement portfolios and even outperform in both rising and falling markets.If you want a clear, grounded, brutally honest look at the macro landscape — from someone who’s seen it from inside the world’s largest hedge fund — this is the episode to watch.Timestamps00:00 Show intro02:20 Replicating hedge fund returns through ETFs07:30 generating high quality returns with lower fees11:00 What is hedge fund positioning telling Bob? 13:35 Understanding macro in a data vacuum18:10 What is the Fed going to do?21:40 AI as a driver of growth26:00 AI, cracks in private credit and who will win AI?31:50 The risks...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/er9NR63MREFV6i2rlZX8f-yMY6gNSK83fNUOzBPoSt8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZmQy/OWMwNmEzY2Y0YTg1/NjM4MjQ3Y2NjMWYy/Zjk1My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
