Today’s diverse markets can feel vast and complex. From developments in voice, electronic and algorithmic execution, to regulation’s impact on liquidity, we explore the latest insights.

In this episode, Sunny Potharaju from the Positioning Intelligence team is joined by John Schlegel, head of the Global Positioning Intelligence team at J.P. Morgan. Their discussion focuses on the strong performance of hedge funds, particularly in crowded stocks, and the potential for continued performance into 2025. John and Sunny examine the setup for U.S. equities, noting a possible upcoming "buy the dip" opportunity, while acknowledging a more uncertain medium-term outlook. The episode concludes with broader insights into the positioning landscape in Europe and Asia. The Positioning Intelligence team sits within the wider Data Assets & Alpha Group.
