Description
We’re back! Today’s podcast features The Derivative show stoppers Rodrigo Gordillo and Adam Butler of Resolve Asset Management discussing the carry trade and its
applications in investment strategies. They begin by explaining what the carry trade is and discussing common misconceptions around it. They then dive into different types of carry that can be found in various asset classes like bonds, commodities, currencies, and equities.

portfolio. They also compare carry to trend following strategies and debate the pros and cons of each approach. The podcast explores how a diversified carry
factor can provide returns with reduced risk when combined with other strategies. Rodrigo and Adam explain how carry fits into their risk parity framework and can be used to tilt allocations.
