Each week, CWD's CIO, Chris Darbyshire, walks through a dense, source-linked download on what actually moved markets, what should have moved them, and where the smart money looks next.
Built for advanced, active investors, not beginners. No jargon decoded, no on-ramp content, just the same CIO-level filtering CWD applies to every research note, compressed into roughly fifteen minutes a week.
The CIO's Diary takes the same CIO-level vantage point behind every CWD research note, built on independent economic and geopolitical research, market strategists, financial news services and academic research, and compresses it into a weekly conversation. Every episode assumes you already know the vocabulary, so there's no time lost to explaining it.
A data-dense rundown of what actually moved markets this week. No term definitions, no throat-clearing, straight to the numbers that mattered.
The core segment, and the one that gets the most airtime: the gap between what should have driven markets and what actually did, and why that gap exists.
Specific, attributed predictions for the week ahead, plus one technical or positioning takeaway active investors can actually use.
The same person, every week, which keeps the show tight and keeps the research honest.
With an outstanding career spanning over two decades in investment management, Chris brings the same institutional-quality macro analysis and disciplined asset allocation thinking he applies to every CWD client engagement. On the show, he's the CIO-level lens on what actually mattered this week.
Michael produces the show each week behind the scenes, so Chris's on-air rundown stays tight and grounded in the underlying research.
