Lukas Daalder is in het verleden wel eens als ‘Nederlands best bewaarde geheim’ op het gebied van economie genoemd. Hij publiceert dagelijks een collectie met grafieken, nieuws en informatie over internationale economie en financiële markten. Het aardige is dat je zijn updates in minder dan een minuut gelezen kan hebben, maar dat er tegelijkertijd voldoende stof tot nadenken tussen staat. Lukas is het hoofd van de afdeling Global Allocations en is tevens portfolio manager bij Robeco. Alle meningen in zijn updates zijn op persoonlijke titel.
