Abstract
Investors face similar macroeconomic risks and opportunities regardless of their individual investment preferences. To best navigate growth and inflation concerns, we propose building macro factor-mimicking portfolios diversified across asset classes and style factors. We focus on the macro factors Growth, Inflation and Defensive. Our approach allows for shaping the macroeconomic risk exposure of a given portfolio by applying systematic macro factor completion to effectively address specific economic outcomes.
