Triangulating to better outcomes
A differentiated approach
We operate at the intersection of macro/fundamentals, sentiment/positioning, and technicals. We do not pigeonhole ourselves to a singular approach but rather use any and all effective means in order to generate high risk-adjusted returns.
Navigating Trading and Life through Process and Insight
Exploring & iterating on every facet of the game
The Collective focuses on process over outcomes as we know the latter is a result of the former. Our community is continuously exploring how to improve and refine every facet of the game of trading, as well as the game of life.
