The Macro Compass – Bond Market Course

Proof Content

Being a macro investor without deeply understanding the bond market is like eating soup with a fork: you can somehow make it, but it’s hard and unproductive.

The bond market scares many away as it’s full of jargon and insider-only knowledge, but that ends today with Alf’s Bond Market Course!

Course Overview

Lesson 1: A Two-Fold Approach To Really Understand The Bond Market
The combination of Alf’s macro and technical approach will turbo-boost your understanding of the mechanics behind bond yields.

Lesson 2+3: A Deep Dive on the Front-End of the Yield Curve
It all starts at the front-end of the yield curve: Central Banks exert a strong influence on short-term yields but there are many nuances to understand together.
Government bonds, OIS, interbank rates, repo markets…are you ready for it?

Lesson 4+5: A Deep Dive on the Long-End of the Yield Curve

Let’s shift our focus to the long-end of bond markets and study what drives the decision making of the biggest buyers in the world, the macro drivers behind long-end rates and how to get an edge in studying the macro cycle through bond yields!

Lesson 6-7: The Yield Curve
Yes, here we are: Dr. Yield Curve! This lesson is a primer on studying the mechanics by which the yield curve shape affects the economic cycle. But not only that: we will study all yield curve regimes and their impact on other asset classes so that your portfolio is always prepared for the macro cycle!

Lesson 8: Credit Spreads
Credit spreads are an important macro variable to keep track of as they determine how cheap/expensive leverage is for the private sector. In this lesson we unpack the macro and technical aspects of credit markets!
