Cons

Cons High fees Like many hedge funds, likely to involve substantial management/performance fees relative to passive investing. Opaque strategy Limited transparency versus public markets funds. Investors often cannot fully see positions or risk exposures. Performance cyclicality Macro investing can experience long flat or underperforming periods depending on market regime. Key-person dependence Discretionary macro funds can rely heavily on specific traders or CIO-level judgment.
