      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - April 2025 Chartpack - The start of April was a major “stress event” for markets. Hedge funds protected capital and some profited from the chaos, but those who remained defensive missed out on the subsequent relief rally.</image:title>

      <image:caption>US government bond vigilantes are swarming and the latest “BBB” (Big Beautiful Bill) does little to dispel their worries.

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Weekly Note - Loosening FCI, reversion to the mean</image:title>
      <image:caption>A loosening of FCI signals the growing acceptance of Trump’s policies by the capital markets. The billionaire businessman’s pro-growth agenda can be made possible by a loosening of liquidity, especially if the Fed delivers rate cuts later in the year. However, this “cake-ism” of high growth, high liquidity and stable inflation will need a release valve. Macro managers continue to believe higher US long-term rates and a weaker dollar will be the ultimate consequences of Trump’s policies.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Weekly Note - The times they are a changing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Quant futures strategies struggled recently due to a combination of technical price reversals as well as a dislocation in typical economic relationships. The rally in the euro versus the US dollar cannot be explained by traditional interest rate differentials. A breakdown in this usual economic relationship highlights the global paradigm shifts occurring, which could significantly impact asset prices.   .</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Weekly Note - The Uncertainty Slowdown</image:title>
      <image:caption>Typically, government public policy is reactionary to economic developments and mostly errs on the supportive side. The current “crisis” is unusual because it is wholly man-made by the US presidential administration. As such, there are a wide range of outcomes that have little basis on economic fundamentals. Global market participants might be slightly jilted by the market volatility. However, the true impact of the US’s approach to global trade negotiations is being felt in the real economy where corporate CEOs are faced with little medium-term visibility and therefore are delaying many business decisions until clarity emerges.        .</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Market Note - Elevated Market Volatility</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hedge funds constantly engage in active risk management. A portion of the MTD losses are from hedges established post “Liberation Day” to protect portfolios against future equity market declines. Much of these risk adjustments have taken place allowing HF portfolios to better manage through this prolonged period of elevated market volatility.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Weekly Note - The Fiscal Gap: US receipts and Expenses</image:title>
      <image:caption>Adding more tax to foreign imports is forecast by the US presidential administration to help close the gap between spending and revenue. DOGE cuts have resulted in a modest improvement in the spread in March. However, US government spending on interest rate debt service payments remains an expensive cost.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Long &amp; The Short - Weekly Market Note_03.28.2025 - BUY THE DIP!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Purchasing the market winners of 2024 in recent weeks has been a natural response from US retail investors, who are accustomed to v-shaped recoveries in bull markets. This phenomenon has, in fact, revitalized the momentum risk factor, which has been outperforming lately. However, there is now a significant amount of recently acquired inventory at risk of being liquidated if equities continue to face selling pressure.</image:caption>
