In this edition of Macro Notes Weekly, we’re sharing several exciting announcements: the launch of Macro Notes Desk, our new Substack community chat; a special offer for newsletter sponsors; and a new benefit for our Premium members, including complimentary access to another Premium newsletter.
70,000 readers - Both Macro Notes and Public Markets are Substack Bestsellers
Both of our newsletters, Macro Notes (70,000 subscribers) and Public Markets (18,000 subscribers), are featured in Substack’s Rising in Finance category and have earned Substack Bestseller status, with over 1,000 Premium and Founding subscribers combined.
More and more of you are reading our research, following our investment theses, and supporting our work. We’re incredibly grateful for your continued trust.
To thank you, we’ve decided to make Public Markets Premium completely free for life for all Macro Notes Premium and Founding members with an annual subscription.
Here’s what this means:
When you subscribe to Macro Notes Premium for $350 per year, you’ll unlock all our Premium research and membership benefits, including access to Macro Notes Terminal.
But now, you’ll also receive complimentary lifetime access to Public Markets Premium, our secondary investment research newsletter, which normally costs $340 per year.
That’s access to two of our bestselling investment newsletters, with all their research and benefits, for the price of one.
Subscribe to Macro Notes Premium — $350/year
Already a Macro Notes annual Premium or Founding member?
You don’t need to do anything. We’ll automatically activate your complimentary lifetime Public Markets Premium membership over the coming days.

New: Macro Notes Desk
We’ve just launched Macro Notes Desk, a new community space on Substack designed to bring our readers closer to our research and to each other.
Until now, you’ve mainly followed our investment theses through our newsletter and Macro Notes Terminal. With the Desk, we’re introducing a new way to engage with our research, exchange perspectives, and contribute your own ideas.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Go behind the scenes of our research. Follow our early thinking on emerging investment themes, the questions we’re investigating, and the ideas we’re considering before they become full research editions.
Discover new investment opportunities. Explore ideas and perspectives shared by fellow investors, including industries, companies, and macroeconomic trends you might not have considered.
Challenge and discuss our investment theses. Ask questions, share counterarguments, and help identify risks, catalysts, or opportunities we may have overlooked.
Exchange directly with our research team. Discuss our latest research, ask questions about our investment theses, and share your own observations.
Contribute to future research. Suggest investment themes worth investigating and help shape the discussions that could lead to our next investment theses.
How does access work?
Some discussions will be accessible to all subscribers, including free readers.
Premium and Founding members will be able to participate in discussions, start their own threads, share investment ideas, and access exclusive conversations with our research team.
Our ambition is to make Macro Notes more than a publication you read. We want it to become a place where investors can learn from different perspectives, challenge their assumptions, and develop better investment theses together.
Join Macro Notes Desk and explore the discussions
Looking forward to reading your ideas and exchanging perspectives with you.
