managers, are terrified of volatility but you like to run your fund with more volatility. why question mark >> at the end to finday, we are paid potential dislocations and when we identify them with a compelling risk return, we press quite hard and that creates volatility. timing is a difficult thing to judge. we can be early to a trade and have associated volatility but we are paid to take risks and that's what the fee structure is about. erik: the past few years have been lean for macro strategies but you have been up. weiser hard to make money? >> i think it reflects the extraordinary environment we are in. the rate structure across the globe has collapsed in the developed world. been almost ahave pervasive force in managing market expectations and financial outcomes.

it's becoming very important to try to understand and predict their reaction function. as time has gone on, the experiment with policy has got more extreme. i think policymakers are becoming more cautious. isombination of those things making predicting monetary policy a difficult exercise. a lot of macro managers, that's a key part of what we do but it has become fraught with hazard. erik: no question. it easier over time to understand how the central banker thinks? is it getting any easier? >> i would not say it's getting easier. as i indicated, we are getting to the extreme edges of policymaking. it's largely an experiment going to zero or negative rates and qe is largely an experiment. i'm not sure it will be easy to predict where to go from here

other than to expect unexpected outcomes. we are positioning to reflect that. we expect more volatility and have been preparing in the spirit of financial repression. policy is reaching its limits and there is also substantial imbalances. start those dislocations to move over the next 6-12 month, it's quite possible. erik: david rubenstein of carlisle said he was surprised that so many macro managers got it wrong. were you surprised? >> i have to be surprised because we have been tripped up a few times in the last 18 months. i think it the extraordinary cautiousness. if you look at the federal reserve, in addition to their mandates, they have

added a third one which is the rest of the world. when you strap on an additional mandate at will, it has made it difficult for us to predict how they will respond. erik: is size a limiting factor? you have about $800 million under management and a makes you wait nimble. some of the macro funds, are they too large? >> i do not want to pass critical comment on might p or group. eriki think the markets have chd dramatically. there has been a dramatic transportation in terms of risk-taking and price making an price taking. the price making environment has become constrained by regulatory burdens. thanks no longer are willing to take on risk. access inwe can markets has shrunk. we normally have very liquid instruments so that's not an issue but things adjust quickly and almost violently. if you are managing a large size, that's very tricky.

erik: does the bank allen should create opportunities question mark not so long ago, people would complain that goldman sachs was feeding the trade and now they can't do that. >> the opportunities are still there because they are driven by fundamentals and pricing. i would say there is more resistance to movements. that's why we are getting these gaps. it has not necessarily reduced the opportunity. opportunities are still very compelling. erik: what appeals to you right now? >> we are very focused on japan. we made a trip down there recently. last bank of japan meeting was a surprise because we sensed that policymakers are anxious about the eventual out come of their interest rates. part of it is political. has somewhatow

faltered so they need to re-energize that project. monetary policy will play a role but we sense it's more a combination of fiscal and monetary. erik: what you think the bank of japan will do? >> i think they will push hard on the monetary policy sard but ay to engineer more of movement into risky assets by japanese investors. the whole project has been designed to get german investors to embrace more risk. they have been steadfast -- erik: does the bank of japan need to buy stocks to >> do that? but it has of it rewarded people who have been holding jgb's. that was not the primary objective so they need to make that a more risky proposition. they probably need to encourage a slightly steeper yield curve which will help the banks who have been badly damaged by the move to negative rates. accommodation measures reduce

the impact of jgb would be reasonable. erik: when you anticipate volatility, how have you done that? tend to run the forfeit a long option elegy which comes from a burden. we have a more somatic approach. we trade more actively. erik: going back to japan, how will you position there? ?s it through the yen or jgb's >> we have a number of strategies. the overarching theme is what i discussed. to reflect that, we have positioned ourselves along the equity market but largely for option. it has been a hazardous trait so we are limiting the size on that. our preference is to be short in areas of risk aversion, the yen has come back of late. i think capital out low is the

real story in japan and that will continue and has been quite significant. we traveled down there and are aware that there are large to mystic investors that hold most of their assets in low yielding domestic product. a lot of that capital will find its way home. there are interesting things on the yield curve side as well. if you believe that central banks will create inflation, i think owning the inflation linked jgb's is an attractive trade. i think the yield curve is too flat so we have trades on to reflect that. erik: thank you very much and great seeing you here. that's paul brewer of rubicon. back to new york city. vonnie: thank you. other big interviews throughout the day on bloomberg television. from the salt conference. chanos will beim

erik schatzker. .e is there with troy guide ski eric? erik: hedge funds are under pressure right now. returns are lousy in some investors are bailing out of the industry altogether. we've seen the headlines over the last several days. are you surprised so many prominent managers have been performing so poorly? are. some strategies we the factise come from you had almost a perfect environment for them to make money. we had massive levels of m&a. all of them were strategic. activist managers had far more influence, but still struggle to generate returns. in a flattish market environment, it is hard to define exactly what went wrong. do with it had to

health care. the space was more crowded. we thought it was credit for a reason. it was an opportunity where people had to make money. other strategies continue to stronger because of never ending policy intervention. even when you are right, you are wrong. think about what janet yellen did, she adopted a third mandate for the fed. , you dore a mac pro guy all of this research on fundamentals, and suddenly the fed pulls a rug out from under you and changes the rules, it is hard to make money. it is a continuation of a long trend of intervention tough to predict that all times. conditions forhe the activists and the event driven guys not as favorable today as they were, say, two years ago? inyou arguably had to peak m&a. they track m&a volume closely. before m&agood 13

started to boom. m&a volumes have nowhere to go but down. there are only so many strategic deals you can do. financing has become tight and there is more regulatory intervention as you have seen with staples and office depot. looking forward, as volumes come down, there is less transaction to do, the opportunity is not as rich. furthermore, as we move through the cycle, the risk of a good market goes up and that has always been the biggest risk to the strategy because those managers are long bias. it is tough to make money when you're 60% net long. that thoseu expect event-driven investors will continue to perform poorly and lose money, or is it the risk of them losing money is much greater? >> after going through the leveraging period last year and

this year, there will be some reversion. we don't think that there is no money to be made. there are better opportunities elsewhere in cash, driven strategies because you have very low dollar prices and very wide spreads in structured credits and mortgage backed securities where you have high-yield bonds. you have much more castro -- much more cash flow and carry. sense exceptkes anybody looking at structured credits saw how poorly performed in the first five weeks of the year. >> that is correct. any asset that is economic sensitivity can be subject to temporary liquidity can have substantial declines in price. that did not surprise us. but will we look to the fundamentals, we concluded it was technically driven by wall street dealer desks. and a lot of crossover selling.

there were fears that the world was going to end. if you have good as is, they are fundamentally sound, but that technically distressed prices, that is a good investment opportunity. erik: so the investors you are allocating to our investing in what? >> long and short. not everything is great and rosie. clo's are backed by levered loans have commodity exposure, but much less and the high-yield bond market. they had very good cash flow and legacy that is backed by the housing market. our point of view is that the housing market is in a steady uptrend with tight supply. homeownership rates have bottomed out and of started to pick up. unemployment is low. everything you look at those you , whatever causes the next recession will not be housing. it is not going to be down 30%,

40%. erik: is part of the appeal a structured credit is it is more recession-proof? it sounds to me, based on what you are saying, you are protecting the portfolio from a potential drop in equity prices and a deceleration in the economy. >> it is all based on risk reward. what will happen in a recession, even the your cash flows won't get turned off because you have ample subordination, the risk of that occurring will go up, this prices will go down. .anagers will be down as long as we don't have a dark recession or a complete catastrophe, we won't have cash flow impairment. we think much less downside with similar upside and no one has to agree with you to make money, the economy has to avoid recession to have a good return. erik: troy. thank you for being here. gywaki.that is troy

♪ this is bloomberg markets. i mark barton in london. vonnie: and i'm vonnie quinn in new york. house speaker ryan -- paul ryan and donald trump met behind closed doors. according to rnc chairman reince priebus, the meeting went great toward party unity.

let's go to capitol hill where eric watson joins us. tweetingiebus is positive things, but he brokered the talks in his interest to say that they have done well. any word from paul ryan are donald trump? >> we have not heard from the principles in the meeting. there was a meeting between priebus and ryan and trump and other leaders including kevin mccarthy. that second meeting has just ended within the last few moments and we are a clear principles to come out and give us a readout. predict there won't be a major endorsement from paul ryan coming out of this meeting, however, priebus' tweet said it is a step to reunifying the party. laid out some policy ideas he thinks is essential to the republican platform and we are eagerly seeing how trump reacts to that presentation.

vonnie: we will be came from paul ryan in the next hour at 11:30. do we know what will happen next? there is a series of meetings ending with mitch mcconnell as well. >> one of the key things is to see how trump's rhetoric on the campaign trail changes if at all. the chairman of the finance committee came out and says he endorse donald trump, but encourages to modify his rhetoric. if trump does tony down, that would be a good indication that he is coming to meet the republicans on capitol hill halfway. later on, we will have to see if there is a meeting of the mines on crucial differences on policy. trump has criticized paul ryan on subjects like medicare and social security cuts.

big difference is trade, immigration, tax policy -- those will play out in the coming weeks and months. already, has said his muslim bae softened. that is one of the things that paul ryan is most objecting to saying that it is un-american. mark: to what extent does trump need ryan to get elected to become president? who is going to bend more here to achieve party unity? eric: conventional wisdom on capitol hill is that paul ryan will have to bend more. paul ryan objecting to trump helps him on the campaign trail. there is a lot of anger against washington and the establishment. so paul ryan's statement may have helped trump's polling numbers. paul ryan needs trump more than trump needs ryan. ryan's agenda will have to go

through the oval office occupied by donald trump. mark: the other big news in the last 24 hours when it comes to trump is a possibility of him naming newt gingrich as his running mate. what does mr. gingrich bring to the table? >> i think newt gingrich is well in the housel up republicans. obviously, in the 1990's, he was forced out of office after the losses in the 1996 race. but he is out there promoting himself for this job. the senateeople in that will relish the chance of a by's presidency and acting -- actively promoting their candidacy. donald trump says he wants someone that knows capitol hill and can move policy. eric, thank you for joining us.

it and make it more of a predictable business at the end of the day. i am pure phrasing there. when i spoke to neil shearer, the interim ceo, he said, the ceo and board run cheniere energy. my interpretation is that carl icahn wasn't and wasn't having day-to-day operational expertise. however, you can imagine that the new ceo of cheniere energy would not get his spot without carl icon approval. near -- they said they are turning it into a predictable business model. not a lot of growth or exposure to any kind of growth or expansion. that thing will utility operational guy into the ceo realm seems to be the truth. it seems like they are moving him into the utility company. expansion, aities,
