Geopolitics and Emerging Economies:
A Shifting Investment Environment

The global investment environment has been characterized for the past decade by a divergence between asset class returns among developing country assets including commodities and developed country securities.

Globalization and the integration of populous agrarian segments of the world’s inhabitants into the global capitalist system are decisively shifting the fulcrum of global growth to the developing world in a process that has only just begun. This shift will have a profound impact on financial markets over the next several decades.

A New Landscape

In the past, a passively invested, long-only strategy in real assets and emerging market assets would have reaped substantial, consistent and unbeatable returns. In the future, as this trend ebbs and flows, successful managers will need to actively and opportunistically manage overall exposure to these trends, identify relative value, implement strategies effectively and efficiently.

Armored Wolf: Tactical Asset Allocation

Global inflationary secular trends (3-5 years) and super-secular trends (5+ years) will define the global investment landscape in the near future. We believe our strategies in real assets and emerging markets will continue to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns in this newly defined landscape.

Armored Wolf tactically manages these asset classes from the long and short sides while minimizing implementation costs. The Chief Investment Officer of Armored Wolf varies weightings among real asset sectors and securities based on asset allocation huddles where Armored Wolf assesses both top-down and bottom-up phenomena.
