Those “megatrends” affecting not just individual companies or sectors but the entire economy.This is the kind of approach to investing utilized at Citrini Research. They attempt to highlight and demystify themes that will define the market’s distribution of returns for years to come.By incorporating macroeconomics, second-order thinking, top-down sector analysis and a lateral approach to individual equities and markets in general, they aim to discover early & expand upon these themes for their clients.It is their most firmly held conviction that narratives drive markets more than any other factor. While their strategy has been defined in many ways by many people, they are solely concerned with one thing: doing what works.Citrini -Website - https://www.citriniresearch.com/X - https://x.com/Citrini7WTFinance -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas
