While stock and bond market volatility has buffeted most investors in 2018, some shrewd global macro managers are posting stellar numbers this year.

For instance, Jeffrey Talpins’ $17.5bn Element Capital fund has soared 25% through the first three quarters. Said Haidar’s $428m Haidar Jupiter fund is up nearly 25% in that time. And Nigol Koulajian’s $1.5bn AlphaQuest Original program has gained 17%. All of these managers already have strong long-term track records.
