Manage episode 402381006 series 2630875
From NASA to Star Trek, Brad Barrie and David Johnson of Dynamic Wealth Group discuss how their shared interests inspired the development of their diversified mutual fund, which blends equity exposure with discretionary global macro allocations. They explain how this approach seeks to provide smoother returns through non-correlated exposures. Brad and David also delve into their backgrounds in aerospace, finance, and alternative investments. Tune in to learn how discretionary macro strategies can offer unique diversification benefits compared to systematic trend following. This episode discusses portfolio construction techniques including dynamic rebalancing models for mutual funds. Throughout, analogies from Star Trek, NASA, and other aeronautical aspects provide entertaining parallels for investment concepts, even attending and speaking at a Star Trek “con” (not in costume)to connect with individual investors! Jump on the starship enterprise with us, as we move from orbit to warp speed. Engage!
