Arthur Vance

Senior Market Columnist — The Long View

Writing under a pseudonym to protect his privacy, Arthur Vance is the Senior Market Columnist for The Long View, leveraging nearly four decades of market experience to deconstruct macroeconomic trends. Arthur began his career on an institutional equities desk just ahead of the 1987 crash, later directing macro strategy through the peaks and valleys of the dot-com era. In 2008, his independent research into structural credit risks led him to position a private book heavily against subprime mortgage-backed securities ahead of the collapse. A CFA charterholder with an advanced degree in Economic History, Arthur views modern markets as a moody, cyclical beast; one best tamed by deep historical context, rigorous cash-flow analysis, and a stiff drink.
