MARKETS
Public equity markets, fixed income, and the macro forces that drive asset class behavior across cycles.
Public markets are where the intersection of fundamentals, narrative, and macro forces plays out in real time. This subcategory covers equity and fixed income markets with attention to the cycle dynamics, valuation frameworks, and macro backdrops that shape returns. The goal is to give investors the analytical scaffolding to interpret what is happening — not just what happened.

Higher for Longer: How Interest Rates Quietly Rewire Every Investment Decision
Interest rates are the gravity of finance — invisible, omnipresent, and acting on every asset at once. Understanding how they reprice risk is the difference between a thesis and a guess.
Key Takeaways
- The interest rate is the price of time: it sets the discount rate that converts future cash flows into present value, so a change in rates silently reprices every asset at once.
- Long-duration assets — high-growth equities, long bonds, speculative bets — are the most rate-sensitive, because more of their value sits far in the future.
- Rates and inflation are linked but distinct: real (inflation-adjusted) rates, not headline numbers, are what actually drive asset prices and capital decisions.
