The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Chris Wood exemplifies The Navigator archetype throughout this interview, charting deliberate course corrections across asset classes with the confidence of someone who has read macro cycles for decades.

“So in that sense, it can be abused. Now, there was a big inflation in the 70s, but Paul Volcker actually reimposed the credibility of the dollar by implementing very tough monetary policy, high real rates.”
“Mertz, decides to positively embrace the proposals on Mario Draghi's paper to the EU Commission last, I think it was summer, where he basically said Europe's turning into a museum. We need to invest 800 billion euro a year upgrading digital physical infrastructure and we have to actively embrace market banking union.”
“Schroeder's is a 950 billion dollar public-private global asset management business, built to deliver long-term client value, Schroder's focuses their business on growing into areas where there is greater demand, private markets, bespoke solutions, and wealth management, and where they can better serve clients.”
