GET A HEAD START ON Your Career

The Macro Specialist Designation (M²SD) is a professional education program designed to help people understand how macro trends impact equity markets and successfully implement macro strategy and stock selection techniques into their investment process.

Typically, our candidates are Wall Street professionals looking to enhance their investment tool kit and expand their professional opportunities.

For the first time, The Macro Institute is offering a scholarship program for qualified graduate and undergraduate students around the world.

Until we created the Macro Specialist Designation program, there was no comprehensive macro-oriented investment training available in academia or popular industry designations. Typically, most people learned macro on the job through years of trial and error.

Now you can jump to the head of the class.

If you would like to be a part of the 2027 cohort simply fill out the brief application and we’ll be in touch soon.

Get ready to master the investment landscape from the top down.
