Fear and Fundamentals: Brad Barrie on Global Macro, Diversification, and the Market’s Next Big Test

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Brad Barrie, Co-Founder, Managing Director, and Chief Investment Officer at Dynamic Wealth Group, to unpack how global-macro investing helps investors prepare for uncertainty — not predict it. From his Halloween-candy analogy on diversification to the risks hiding behind record valuations, Brad explains why hope isn’t a strategy, why true diversification means non-correlation, and how the Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund aims to thrive when others panic. In this episode: – Why diversification today often means being “badly diversified” – How global macro can hedge against high valuations and volatility – Why the Dynamic Alpha Macro Fund (DYMAX) is built for flexibility – How technicals and fundamentals work together in a macro framework – Why investors need multiple drivers of return, not just hope Lead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
