Today’s guest is Bob Elliott, CEO and CIO of Unlimited, which uses machine learning to create low-cost index replications of 2&20 style alternative investments. Prior to founding Unlimited, Bob served on the Investment Committee at Bridgewater Associates and led Ray Dalio’s investment research team for nearly a decade.

In today’s episode, Bob discusses the macroeconomic landscape — from the Federal Reserve to the impact of tariffs and the dollar’s long-term overvaluation. He highlights the disconnect between weakening economic data and elevated stock valuations, noting that prices can’t diverge from the real economy for long.

He also emphasizes the role of asset allocation and diversification, with a focus on TIPS, bonds, and hedge fund replication strategies.
