Meridian publishes public research notes alongside a recurring archive of monthly allocation packets.

The notes explain the ideas behind the framework. The packets document how the framework interprets the current environment and translates that assessment into portfolio research.

Public Notes

Public Notes examine the principles, assumptions and risks behind structured asset allocation.

Topics include macro regime classification, portfolio construction, drawdown control, asset behaviour and decision discipline.

The purpose is not to react to every market development. It is to build a durable body of research around the problems Meridian is designed to address.

Allocation Packet Archive

The Packet Archive records Meridian’s monthly allocation process.

Each packet documents the prevailing macro classification, the evidence supporting and challenging that view, the allocation implications, changes from the previous month and the conditions that could invalidate the current position.

The archive exists to make the process reviewable over time.
