What We Offer

Prometheus Research is designed to be your one-stop shop for macro research. From doing deep fundamental research on the economy to turning that research into tradable portfolio strategies, we’ve got you covered. What makes Prometheus unique is our expertise in systematizing our macro views to create rules-based quantitative strategies. We think this is the biggest edge that we have over traditional macro research. We don’t just provide you with views and then wish you good luck—but instead, we take those views, turn them into quantitative rules, stress-test them over hundreds of years of data and across geographies, and then turn them into clear, actionable investment portfolios and frameworks. Let’s dive into everything we offer:

There are five key components of our offering:

• The Observatory: The Observatory is how we at Prometheus monitor the evolution of the economy and financial markets in real time. We track and analyze virtually every piece of data on the US economy and its implications for markets. We assess the time-series characteristics, sectoral decompositions, macro-cycle implications, and the effects of each release on GDP and inflation, 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.

• Prometheus Macro Cycle Program: Our Macro Cycle Program offers a simple, long-only investment solution for investors seeking to adjust their asset allocation in sync with the macroeconomic cycle.

• Prometheus S&P 500 Program: The Prometheus S&P 500 Program aims to outperform the S&P 500 over a full investment cycle. The program will aim to achieve this objective by leveraging our proprietary combination of Sector Selection, Beta Timing, Active Overlays, and Dynamic Risk Control. This is an ideal fit for active equity market investors. We have an extensive primer on our process, which you can read by clicking the link here.

• Prometheus Crisis Protection Program: The Prometheus Crisis Protection Program seeks to offer a portfolio diversifier during periods of economic and financial instability by blending active, long-only exposure to Gold, TIPS, and VIX. The program is designed to have minimal turnover, except during crisis periods, and is intended to be a portable solution for both active and passive equity market investors. You can read the primer on the strategy by clicking the link here. This program is quite flexible in terms of its implementation. Check out the links to various implementations below:
