In each episode, we explore investing through an entirely unique lens, bringing in authors to discuss books that have directly or indirectly influenced our investment decisions.

Carry trades have existed since the beginning of time. Rarely have we run into periods like today that have caused so many investors to be seemingly smart.

In this episode, Cole Smead sits down with Kevin Coldiron, co-author of the book The Rise of Carry: The Dangerous Consequences of Volatility Suppression and the New Financial Order of Decaying Growth and Recurring Crisis to discuss what carry trades are, the constancy of them and how today’s carry regime shapes the complex world of finance.
