Show Notes

Crypto. Rates. AI debt. Green bonds.

In this episode, Chris Joye, CIO of Coolabah Capital, lays out a macro view that cuts against consensus.

He calls Bitcoin “pure Ponzi”, makes the case for re dollarisation not de dollarisation, and warns AI driven CapEx could be understated as hyperscalers ramp up debt issuance.

We also unpack Coolabah’s active bond trading model and the Global Carbon Leaders Fund, which targets green bond mispricings with floating rate exposure and enhanced yield.
