Chris Rokos

Chris Rokos was a star macro trader at Brevan Howard, generating exceptional returns for years before leaving to establish his own fund. His non-compete with Brevan Howard delayed the launch of Rokos Capital Management, which eventually opened in 2015. The fund has grown to manage billions in assets with a primary focus on global macro strategies in interest rates, currencies, and sovereign bonds. Rokos is known for taking large, concentrated macro positions based on fundamental analysis of central bank policy, economic conditions, and global capital flows. His fund generated exceptional returns in 2020-2022 as interest rate volatility increased dramatically, demonstrating the value of discretionary macro expertise in regime-changing environments. His ability to position ahead of major central bank policy shifts has established Rokos Capital as one of the premier macro franchises launched in the post-financial crisis era.
