What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

In the episode, Matt explains how they assess this "changed investment climate”, the tools they are using in this environment and how their portfolios are positioned.

In describing themselves as “an alternative to alternatives”, Matt explains how they run a global macro, absolute return strategy (without a benchmark) and how they discuss return expectations with clients.

The conversation covers the sticky nature of the inflation they see persisting, the dangers of hidden leverage, and why a structural market in bonds and equities may characterise the investment landscape for a while. All this whilst seeking positive returns “come rain or shine”.
