You're about to join Neil's Kostrup Larson on a raw and honest journey into the world of systematic investing

and learn about the most dependable and consistent yet often overlooked investment strategy.

Welcome to the Systematic Investor Series.

Welcome or welcome back to this week's edition of the Systematic Investor Series with Alan Don and I, Neil's Castor Blasen, where each week we take the pulse of the global

markets through the lens of a rules-based investor. If you're new to the show, I hope today's

episode will trigger your curiosity

enough to check out the back catalog and listen to the past episodes that you may have missed,

like last week's episode with Jerry Parker, where we talked about finding the optimal way of

doing trend following, and even discussed how to react to a drastic fall in a market,

like what we saw in Luna just a couple of weeks ago.

Also, I would like to encourage you to listen to the Meet Week global macro episode,

where Jim and I had Joseph Wang, who's also known as the Fed guy on Twitter,

take us inside the Federal Reserve as he was sitting on the open markets desk for five years. And we discussed the challenges

that central banks face at the moment in the current environment. Very interesting insights indeed.

Now, as you may know, the aim of the podcast is to inspire you to be the best investor that you can

be. We want to be prerogative from time to time, but without that you can be. We want to be provocative from time to time,

but without being polarizing and we want to challenge consensus narratives and to advocate

how to think critically about investing in a uncertain world. And we want to provide you with a

framework and a mindset that we believe is truly robust.

Alan, it is always a great pleasure and a lot of fun to be with you.

So welcome back and how are things where you are today.

Thanks, Neil.
