Third Quarter 2022 Asset Allocation Report by David Wolf, David Tulk and Ilan Kolet: Modelling Behaviour
While macro-economic models are widely used across the investment industry, the ability to understand what may be wrong with them and position investments accordingly may help outperform the markets.

Highlights
- Understanding how macro models will be wrong is key to our process
- Standard models were predictably blind to the supply constraints that have driven the inflation surge
- Those models may now be too worried about US recession risk…
- … but not worried enough about Canada’s higher interest-rate sensitivity
