We sat down with Stashway's Chief Investment Officer to talk about his winding path from coding to calling the shots on investments. Turns out, making the jump from computer science to finance gave him a pretty unique lens on the whole game - one that becomes especially valuable when markets stop making sense.

That tech background really shows when he walks us through what it's like trying to invest during those black swan moments that make even the smartest strategies look foolish. His approach to these unexpected events naturally led us into discussing why getting your asset allocation right matters more than ever when nobody knows what's coming next.

This is where things get interesting. To make sense of today's investment landscape, he's conceptualized what he calls the FAT framework (Fiscal Dominance, AI, and Trump); basically the three big forces he thinks are shaping where money should go right now. The first piece of this puzzle, fiscal dominance, had him spending considerable time explaining how America's massive debt problem isn't just a political talking point, but something that's actually changing how smart money thinks about investing.

From there, our conversation naturally shifted to practical implications. We dove into why gold keeps coming up in serious investment conversations (hint: it's not just for doomsday preppers), which connects directly to how interest rates and the whole AI revolution might completely reshape economic growth.
