Systematic Qualitative Framework
A systematic framework that combines qualitative assessment of primary macro drivers allows quantitative and qualitative elements to be combined and properly balanced as part of a sensible and integrated overall process. Through our research, we have distilled an otherwise overwhelming collection of macro data to a set of primary drivers that describe the most important headwinds and tailwinds that drive the economic cycle and, therefore, asset class performance.
