Karen Karniol-Tambour on Where to Find Diversification, Handling Geopolitical Risk, and AI

Co-CIO Karen Karniol-Tambour recently appeared at the Milken Institute’s 2024 Global Conference on a panel about the macro outlook, moderated by David Westin of Bloomberg’s Wall Street Week. The panel was framed around economic divergences, and as the conversation went on, Karen addressed a wide range of topics that are front-of-mind for investors, including:

•   The economic impact of geopolitical tensions,    such as increased governmental pushes for supply chain resiliency and industrial policy.

•   Where to find geographic diversification    , including implications for investing in China and other Asian markets.

•   The role of currency hedging    in an environment of more volatile inflation.

•   Whether markets have gotten smarter    due to central banks’ more detailed guidance.

•   The rise of private credit and equity    from a macro perspective.

•   How we’re approaching geopolitical and regulatory risks    , with a case study of the US presidential election.

•   The potential impact of AI on inflation    , both in the short term and in the long term.
