Macro Regime Alignment

Historical analysis of which macro regimes have favoured HYD. Based on the regime's characteristic interest rate environment, growth conditions, and sector rotation patterns.

Goldilocks

Growth ↑ · Inflation ↓

The ideal environment: expanding economy, inflation under control, central banks neutral or accommodative. Equities historically deliver their best returns here.

Liquidity Boom

QE · ZIRP · Fed BS ↑

The Fed is printing money and rates are near zero. Every asset inflates as cheap liquidity floods markets. The 'don't fight the Fed' regime — risk assets outperform.

Current regime: Inflationary Boom — this ETF is not historically among the strongest performers in the current macro environment. Consider checking which ETFs are regime-aligned on the ETF Explorer.
