Prometheus is built on deep fundamental research into how the economy works. We have built a rigorous, systematic process for tracking virtually every major data point released in the US economy. That tracking of economic conditions is coupled with a study of macro markets and investment strategies over hundreds of years and dozens of countries, to create systematic investment programs.
Alongside this systematic process, we have created rigorous, consistent, and high-frequency reporting on its evolution. This is our primary value offer to professional investors: an ever-evolving, forward-looking, signal-based view of the global macroeconomic landscape. This comprehensive offering is streamlined into a format that is readily digestible for CIOs and PMs. Our research is communicated via the following channels:
Prometheus Multi-Strategy Program: Our primary offering to institutional investors. The program systematically trades 47 global markets daily. The Prometheus Multi-Strategy Program applies a bottom-up approach to markets, leveraging our macroeconomic understanding of individual markets to create a variety of strategies. Our programs span US equity sectors, global equity indexes, global sovereign bond markets, the energy complex, industrial metals, and volatility. Our programs, positions, and signals are delivered every day in machine-readable form.
The Monitor: The Monitor is how we track and communicate the positioning and reasoning of the Prometheus Multi-Strategy Program. Delivered every morning at 8 AM ET, The Monitor contains our fastest reads on macro conditions—daily trackers of growth and inflation, forward-looking macro regime probabilities, global expected returns across assets, short-term regime forecasts for individual markets, and the signals and synthesis from the Prometheus Multi-Strategy Program.
The Observatory: Our real-time monitoring of the US economy. It offers a regular systematic dissection of virtually every major fundamental macro data set released in the US. We scan the time-series characteristics, sectoral decompositions, macro-cycle implications, and the effects on GDP and inflation of each release, with an understanding of the nuances and specific manipulations required for each data series. The Observatory seeks to paint a moving picture of the economic cycle, print by print.
Thematic Notes: Our process is built on constant iteration and investigation. Much of this iteration is predicated on the constant search for tools to navigate the current or future macro regime optimally. This search leads us through a wide variety of research, which we communicate through various formats. This can range from thought pieces on the current macro backdrop, which we call Macro Mechanics, to highly specialized regime-based trading signals for a particular asset class, to a methodological primer for a new systematic strategy. The objective of these notes is to bring novel ideas—whether in terms of conceptual frameworks, data-driven fundamental assessments, or new systematic signals —to help navigate the current macro circumstance.
