Synopsis

Forecast geopolitics and markets with this clear and insightful resource

Geopolitical Alpha – An Investment Framework for Predicting the Future provides listeners with an original and compelling approach to forecasting the future and beating the markets while doing so. Persuasively written by author, investment strategist, and geopolitical analyst Marko Papic, the book applies a novel framework for making sense of the cacophony of geopolitical risks with the eye towards generating investment-relevant insights.

Geopolitical Alpha posits that investors should ignore the media-hyped narratives, insights from "smoke-filled rooms," and most of their political consultants and, instead, focus exclusively on the measurable, material constraints facing policymakers. In the tug-of-war between policymaker preferences and their constraints, the latter always win out in the end. Papic uses a wealth of examples from the past decade to illustrate how one can use his constraint-framework to generate Geopolitical Alpha. In the process, the book discusses:

What paradigm shifts will drive investment returns over the next decade
Why investment and corporate professionals can no longer treat geopolitics as an exogenous risk
How to ignore the media and focus on what drives market narratives that generate returns

Perfect for investors, C-suite executives, and investment professionals, Geopolitical Alpha belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the intersection of geopolitics, economics, and finance.

I listened to Marko’s interview in the always interesting and sometimes hilarious Market Huddle podcast (@TheMarketHuddle) with @KevinMuir and @PatrickCeresna: The interview is fascinating and funny, so much so that I decided to read the book. In spite of the high bar set by the interview (Marko is......more

Amazing books. Really cool lens to apply to the world. Slightly frustrating reading something by someone who is so much smarter than I'll ever be while also being quite charming and funny (sorry academics).......more

Fantastic read! Marko does a terrific job of explicating his constraints vs preference based framework for analyzing the effects that politcal based events have on the global legacy markets - the path of least resistance always wins out. I suspect this framework can be applied too many facets of lif......more
