Julian's Big Bet

Let's start by making one thing clear: this is not a new position for Robertson. He has been talking about different forms of this play for a while now. But, since he has so much conviction behind this bet, we figured it would be prudent to take a closer look. Not to mention, his interview with Value Investor Insight was just published and it again highlighted his thoughts on this play. Today, we are going to highlight Julian Robertson's steepener swap play. In layman's terms, he is betting on inflation. Taken from eFinancialNews, "Steepeners are a type of interest rate swap, where one party agrees to pay the other a fixed rate in exchange for a floating rate, which is derived from the difference between long and short term rates. Many of these products also use high leverage, where the difference between the two rates is multiplied by up to 50 times to produce a higher return."
