Rob Carver

Rob Carver is short bonds as part of a portfolio positioning reflecting inflation concerns and uncertainty. He expects that a potential oil supply shock could hurt equities, which his long equity position would suffer, but the short bonds position would provide some offset. The short bonds position is a direct bet on rising yields or inflation.

Rob Carver holds a small long position in energies (oil futures) based on his view that an oil supply shock is likely to play out, driving oil prices higher. He expects the oil price rally to be sustained due to physical market dislocations, though his overall portfolio risk is low and the position size is modest.
