## Definition

A hedge fund strategy that bases its holdings - such as long and short positions in various equity, fixed income, currency, and futures markets - chiefly on overall economic and political views of various countries. Such circumstances are mainly - market inadequacies (all deviations from the equilibrium price that are considered temporary by the fund management) anywhere and in any sub-market, but - also shifts in the geopolitical situation and impending conflicts or - long-term (noncurrent) changes in the economy and society, such as urbanization and the emerging aging in Europe and China. - With this strategy, hedge funds cause capital to be directed to where shortages are expected. - See event-driven fund, hedge fund strategies, hedging, Methuselah syndrome, reserve depletion, shadow debt, senescence, asset portfolio.
