The Macro Lab
One day. One model. Defend it.
A full-day challenge: build a systematic macro model and defend it under questioning. Applications are currently closed — the next edition will be announced here.
What You'll Do
Design a rules-based macro strategy in a day: pick signals, confront volatility and signal decay, and present a defensible construction — not a perfect one.
Why Join
Direct mentorship from Britannica investment professionals throughout the day, and honest feedback on how your thinking holds up under institutional questioning.
Who Should Apply
Students and early-career candidates in mathematics, economics, computer science, engineering, or finance — comfort with data required, market experience not.
Logistics & Rewards
Held in person; venue details are shared with accepted participants. Prizes for the strongest work, travel reimbursement for selected participants, and a long dinner with the team of the day.
