Andy Constan spent 37 years at the top of institutional finance — running macro books, managing risk, trading through every cycle since 1987. The Damped Spring framework is how he thinks. The research is what that thinking produces, twice a month, with a tracked portfolio to prove it.
"When you understand the spring constant and the dampers, you stop being surprised."
— Andy Constan, Founder & CIOA biweekly synthesis of everything moving markets — with a model portfolio that has delivered consistent gains over a six-year track record. Not just analysis. A position.
Four people. One framework. Each bringing something the others can't.
