WHAT WE OFFER
Good macro research should be actionable and accountable. Unbound offers three investment strategies that aim to beat the market on a risk adjusted basis:
​
-
The Unbound Macro Absolute Return Portfolio is designed with the needs of our total return clients in mind. We look for compelling and uncorrelated macro trades that are sized based on their contribution to the portfolio's overall risk. Our objective is to outperform cash by 400bps annually with an information ratio of 2. A weekly update of our strategies and trades is provided in the Unbound Global Macro Investor video released every Sunday.
-
The Unbound Systematic Asset Allocation Portfolio follows the weekly buy/sell signals for stocks and bonds generated by our proprietary macro regime switching model. Our objective is to outperform the typical global balanced fund (60% stocks/40% bonds) by 200bp annually. We reset the portfolio every Friday at 3:45pm ET.
-
The Unbound Trade of the Week identifies high frequency trading opportunities in rates, currencies, commodities and equity indices using a combination of technical, positioning, and macro signals. It is published every Monday before NY open.
Updates of the P&L of all the portfolios are provided weekly. At the end of every month we will also provide a more detailed update in Honest Board.

A new re-alignment of geopolitical forces in recent years is now threatening to unleash a new Cold War. While external conflicts escalate, many countries are also experiencing increasing internal conflicts that are contributing to political instability. The growing political tension at both the inter-national and intra-national levels is already having a profound impact on financial markets.
In view of this, David Woo Unbound and RIWI, a leading on-line survey technology firm based in Toronto, have teamed up to create the Compass Series of indices that provides hard to reach insights that are gathered anonymously and from those that don't typically answer opinion polls. Leveraging RIWI's proprietary Random Domain Intercept online survey technology, the Compass Series of indices allow our clients to have their fingers on the pulse of the most important economic, political and geopolitical trends in real time.
​
The Compass Series of Indexes currently include:
-
Global Economic Pulse Index
-
Military Conflict Risk Index
-
A Cold War II Index
-
Political Polarization Index
