Ep. 251: Andrew Huszar Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
My guest today is Andrew Huszar, a Senior Fellow at Rutgers Business School and also a former Morgan Stanley managing director. In 2009, he managed the Federal Reserve’s 1.25 trillion dollar mortgage-backed security purchase program.
The topic is the direction of the Federal Reserve.

- Looking at the short term
- Black swans
- Huszar’s history and how he came to work for the Federal Reserve
- The changing of the banking model in the US from the 1980’s to the late 2000’s
- Quantitative easing
- Why Huszar ultimately left the Fed at the beginning of 2011
- How the Fed has become over five times bigger in recent history
- The current source of Wall Street money
