On our inaugural Tomorrow's People episode, host Gavin Ezekowitz is joined by renowned investor Bob Elliott to talk about hedge funds, macro cycles and their effect on asset prices, the effects of the Fed raising interest rates, inflation, unemployment and the impact on equities.

Bob Elliott is the Co-Founder and CEO of Unlimited, which uses machine learning to create products that replicate the index returns of alternative investments.

Prior to founding Unlimited, Bob was Deputy CIO at Bridgewater Associates where he created many strategies for the Pure Alpha fund across equities, fixed income, credit, exchange rates, and commodities. In his role on the Investment Committee, he was holistically responsible for the Pure Alpha foreign exchange portfolio from investment strategy to trade execution.
