Real-time nowcasting dashboard, AI-generated research reports triggered by alpha inputs, and a conviction-weighted model portfolio — built on the global liquidity impulse framework.
VegaMacro synthesises central bank balance sheets, high-frequency economic data, and AI-driven alpha inputs into a unified analytical framework.
Global liquidity impulse, inflation nowcast, and growth proxies — orthogonalised z-scores from FRED.
Claude-powered research reports auto-generated from FOMC minutes, X posts, earnings calls, and policy papers.
Conviction-weighted portfolio across AI, defence, decoupling, power, automation, crypto, and hard assets.
Rules-based reallocation engine with 9 weighted decision factors, 6 automatic rebalance triggers, and conviction scoring.
Factor-adjusted thematic scoring. Maps each investment theme against 5 macro pillars to generate autonomous rebalance signals.
VegaMacro is built on original research demonstrating that the marginal change in global liquidity — not the level — predicts business cycles and cross-asset returns.
Our Global Liquidity Index (GLI) decomposes central bank balance sheets into stance versus impulse using expanding-window z-scores and real-time orthogonalisation. The impulse measure consistently outperforms level-based approaches across Bitcoin, NASDAQ, commodities, gold, and bonds.
Most macro research platforms fall into two camps: expensive institutional terminals that require six-figure budgets, or retail newsletters that package consensus as insight. VegaMacro was built to close this gap.
We combine original quantitative research — specifically, a proprietary Global Liquidity Index framework based on central bank balance sheet decomposition — with real-time data, AI-powered analysis, and conviction-weighted model portfolios. The result is hedge-fund-grade macro intelligence at a fraction of institutional cost.
Every position has a thesis. Every thesis has a kill condition. Every signal is timestamped and scored. Full transparency, no cherry-picking.
VegaMacro is built by Ben Pfeiffer (Co-Founder & CEO) and Florian Nolte (Co-Founder & CTO). Ben Pfeiffer — M.Sc. Finance & Investments from Copenhagen Business School with an MBA exchange at UC Berkeley Haas. Professional experience spans fixed income trading at Deutsche Bank Global Markets, global macro analysis at a global macro hedge fund, portfolio management at a leading European asset manager, and investment advisory. The GLI framework that powers the platform is based on his M.Sc. thesis research. Florian Nolte — M.Sc. Business Analytics from NOVA School of Business and Economics (thesis on multi-agent AI frameworks for workflow automation), Cum Laude B.Sc. Economics from Maastricht University (top 5%), with a visiting term at the University of Florida. Consulting experience at Capgemini Invent (Growth Strategy), Commerzbank (Corporate Strategy), and zeb (Restructuring & OPEX). Leads the platform's technical architecture and AI agent systems. The platform was born from gaps identified throughout these journeys: institutional-grade liquidity analysis and regime-based allocation, made accessible and transparent.
