In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the November 30th, 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital "D" webinar where Mark Yusko and Cory Lester talked about why they are so constructive on the outlook for Biopharma stocks. The fundamental disconnect between where Biopharma stocks are trading and the innovation and advancements in treatments reached an extreme level in 2023, in their opinion. They believe it is only a matter of time before investor attention returns to the sector focused on the science rather than the macro environment. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

In the October 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital "D" webinar, Mark Yusko and Cory Lester explain why higher interest rates can be seen as the financial market's sunlight, and why they believe the higher (i.e., brighter) they get, the better the operating environment for long/short equity managers may be.

In the March 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital "D" webinar, we take a closer look at why we believe the market backdrop could prove advantageous for active equity strategies versus passive. We discuss why equity markets could remain range bound and volatile, why interest rates may stay higher for longer, and how such circumstances have historically impacted the performance of actively managed strategies. We also touch on more nuanced topics, such as why a higher short rebate might provide a tailwind for hedge fund managers. We hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode of HedgeD, we pick well-known hedge fund manager John Hempton's brain on what makes a good long investment. John is probably best known for his short selling abilities, but others have already adequately covered that topic so, instead, he walks us through his framework for assessing longs. John is truly a gifted storyteller, and we hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it. Cheers.

In the inaugural HedgeD, With A Capital "D" webinar for 2023, we discuss some of the lingering concerns surrounding the economy and markets and what this might mean for investors. In summary, we think 2023 could be the year where being different pays off. We discuss why we believe that investors should consider focusing on international equity markets over domestic, emphasizing value-oriented strategies instead of growth, watching for signs of a resurgence in active management vs. passive and avoiding the largest weights in the major indices. We hope you enjoy the episode.
