In this episode of The Blunt Dollar, I sit down with Alan Dunne, founder of Archive Capital Advisors and co-host of Top Traders Unplugged, to explore what it really means to build portfolios that can survive changing market regimes.
Alan shares the lessons he's learned after decades as a trader, allocator, and portfolio construction expert, challenging many of the assumptions investors make about diversification, risk, and long-term investing.
We dive into why many portfolios only appear diversified, why the relationship between stocks and bonds may have fundamentally changed, and why investors should think beyond traditional asset allocation models.
Alan also explains why volatility is not the same as risk, how trend following can improve portfolio resilience, and what today's macro environment could mean for investors over the coming decade.
📈 Why most diversified portfolios are not as diversified as they seem
🌍 How regime changes are reshaping investing and why the old playbook may no longer work
🛡️ The difference between volatility and real investment risk and why it matters
📊 Why trend following, macro strategies, and alternative investments deserve more attention
🚀 Career lessons for aspiring investors and what truly separates great candidates in today's finance industry
If you like portfolio construction, macro investing, and honest conversations about long-term wealth building, this one's for you.
