The approach

Blind Squirrel Macro is an independent investment-research publication for investors who want clear thinking rather than consensus narratives. Founded on more than three decades of market experience, it examines macroeconomics, equities, commodities, credit, currencies, policy and geopolitics through a practical, valuation-aware lens. The objective is not to predict every market move, but to identify asymmetric opportunities, understand the risks that consensus overlooks, and improve decision-making across market cycles. Blind Squirrel Macro combines bottom-up security analysis with top-down macro context, translating complex issues into actionable frameworks for serious private investors and professionals. It is candid about uncertainty, willing to challenge fashionable views, and focused on preserving capital as well as compounding it. Acorns can emerge anywhere: in unloved assets, dislocated markets, misunderstood policy shifts, or changes in the economic regime.

Methodology

(Primarily) long-only, multi-asset model portfolio expressed through approximately 30 US-listed ETFs and Closed-end funds Low-turnover implementation of Blind Squirrel Macro’s core medium- and long-term macro views Combines US, international and thematic equity exposure with a structural tilt away from market-cap-weighted US mega-cap technology Uses cash / T-bills, trend-following/managed futures, precious metals, tactical Treasury strategies and emerging-market local-currency debt as alternative to a conventional fixed income allocation Prioritizes diversification, liquidity, valuation awareness, income and global opportunity sets
