Rebecca Patterson
The Strategist
The long view, patient, analytical, playing several moves ahead.
Rebecca Patterson reads as The Strategist because she treats global markets as systems of cascading consequence rather than collections of isolated events. She pre-maps second and third-order effects, tracing how a Chinese demand contraction moves through supply chains into Federal Reserve decisions well before those linkages surface in prices. Her insistence on exhaustive upfront research before taking any position marks a leader who cuts through surface noise and acts only from earned clarity.
“Once we understand the rules of how the economic machine works, we put it into our systems. We don't want to miss something, so we make sure we get it right up front — that means doing this unbelievably deep amount of research.”
“If China slows down, immediately my mind goes not just the first order consequence, but second, third, fourth order — supply chains, commodities, inflation in the US, policy response.”
“We're positioning for inflation that's higher than priced in, and we're positioning for the Fed to tighten more than is priced in, because we don't know exactly what the Fed's gonna do.”
