1.0 Who We Are|我们是谁

Frontier Macro is a manager brand focused on P&L through risk budgeting and execution rules.
前沿宏观是管理人品牌,核心是盈亏:通过风险预算与执行规则管理组合。
We optimize for consistency of the return path under a drawdown budget, with a priority on avoiding irreversible drawdowns.
我们在回撤预算约束下优先优化收益路径的一致性,并以避免不可逆回撤为首要原则。
2.0 How We Work|我们如何工作
2.1 Risk Path Compression|风险路径合并
We compress complexity into monitoring chain: energy price → inflation expectations → rate conditions → liquidity stress.
我们把复杂宏观叙事压缩为监控主链:能源价格 → 通胀预期 → 利率条件 → 流动性压力。
In tail scenarios, liquidity can dominate and push multiple price carriers to move together; diversification is verified, not assumed.
在极端情境下,流动性可能压过叙事并导致多类价格载体同向波动;分散必须被验证,而不是被假设。
2.2 Risk Translation|风险载体映射
We focus on how risk gets priced and keep a stable set of observables for decision-making.
我们关注的是风险如何进入价格,并维护一组稳定的可观测变量用于决策。
We capture the macro–financial regime using a set of proxies spanning energy prices, inflation expectations, real rates and opportunity cost, funding and liquidity stress, rate volatility, broad risk volatility, positioning and flows, and correlation dynamics.
我们通过涵盖能源价格、通胀预期、实际利率与机会成本、资金与流动性压力、利率与风险波动、仓位与资金流向以及相关性结构的一组指标来刻画宏观金融状态。
2.3 Correlation Check|相关性检查
We classify linkage into Normal / Weakened / Crisis and treat it as a prerequisite for hedge validity.
我们把联动状态分为 正常/减弱/危机,并将其作为对冲有效性的前提条件。
When linkage turns abnormal, hedge assumptions and execution rules adjust.
当联动进入异常区间,对冲假设与执行规则会同步调整。
3.0 Portfolio Engineering|组合工程
We operationalize macro hedge portfolio management into three stages: correction, rolling windows, and stress testing.
我们把宏观对冲组合管理固化为三段式流程:纠偏、滚动、压力测试。
3.1 Quarterly Correction|季度纠偏
We revise core assumptions and structure when return drivers migrate.
当收益驱动迁移时,我们修正组合的核心假设与结构。
3.2 90-Day Rolling Window|90天滚动窗口
We align controllable drawdowns with stability targets using a 90-day window; the Sharpe–Sortino gap is used to describe downside-risk quality.
我们用 90 天窗口对齐可控回撤与稳定性目标,并用 Sharpe–Sortino 的差异刻画下行风险质量。
3.3 Monte Carlo on Geometric Paths|几何路径压力测试
We prioritize paths over averages to keep decisions inside visible risk boundaries.
我们优先看路径而非均值,用可见的风险边界约束决策。
4.0 The Regime We Monitor|我们监控的新范式
We frame the new macro regime as a shift from low inflation/low rates/passive beta toward a regime shaped by fiscal expansion, higher inflation volatility, and tighter supply constraints.
我们把新的宏观环境定定义为从低通胀、低利率、被动 beta 主导,转向财政扩张、通胀波动更高与供给约束更强的新阶段。
In this regime, long-duration risk may not hedge reliably; defense relies on scenario-based hedging logic and rule-driven execution.
在这一框架下,长久期风险未必稳定提供对冲;组合防守依赖情景化对冲逻辑与规则化执行。
5.0 Only What Matters|专注于真正重要的事
We manage exposure with rules, not forecasts; we manage change with explicit update conditions.
我们用规则管理曝险,而不是预测;用明确的更新条件管理变化。
5.1 When We Can Add Exposure|允许新增曝险的前提
When volatility structure is digested and markets return to a lower-noise tradable regime.
当波动结构完成消化并回到低噪声的可交易状态。
When the active intermediary variable on the chain is not near a persistent stress threshold.
当链条中当期主导的中介变量未处于持续的压力阈值附近。
5.2 When We Must Cut Risk Regardless of P&L|必须减曝的状态
When the chain "shock → intermediary variable up → tighter rate conditions → liquidity stress" is consecutively confirmed.
当"冲击 → 中介变量上行 → 利率条件收紧 → 流动性压力"链条被连续确认。
When structural fragility meets deteriorating risk appetite and forced deleveraging risk rises.
当结构性脆弱点叠加风险偏好恶化,强迫去杠杆风险上升。
5.3 Update Conditions|更新条件
We update the framework when baseline scenarios deviate and persist, volatility regimes flip, or structural events trigger non-linear shocks with signs of propagation.
当基准情景持续偏离、波动结构切换,或结构性事件引发并扩散的非线性冲击时,我们更新框架。
Each update ships with: What changed / Why / Portfolio implication.
每次更新附带:变更点 / 原因 / 对组合含义。
6.0 Publishing Format|我们如何发布
We publish IC/peer-ready notes in a fixed structure to keep meeting cadence, decision records, and post-mortems aligned.
我们用固定结构发布投委会/同业可直接使用的内容,用于会议节奏、决策记录与复盘口径对齐。
- Market Consensus|共识收益流
- Worst 90-Day Risk Path|最危险90天路径
- Vulnerabilities|脆弱点
- Risk Translation|风险映射
- Correlation Check|相关性检查
- Only What Matters|专注于真正重要的事(加曝/减曝/更新条件)
7.0 Compliance & Disclosures|合规与披露
For compliance and information-asymmetry reasons, we disclose "states and rules" but do not disclose position sizing or holdings details.
出于合规与信息不对称考虑,我们披露"状态与规则",不披露具体仓位与持仓细节。
