Replay: IVOL – Hope For The Best, Plan For The Worst
Thursday, June 10
11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT

Inflation concerns are mounting. The US government has issued $5 trillion in pandemic-era stimulus, a figure which dwarfs other previous aid packages¹. Simultaneously, with COVID-19 now potentially under control, the economy could experience a post-vaccine boom. As a result, inflation is currently running at its fastest pace since 2009². Still, the Federal Reserve noted in April’s FOMC meeting that they “generally expected measured inflation to ease” as supply chain bottlenecks diminish and the economy returns to full capacity³. 
 
We believe this same "hope for the best" approach may not be a viable strategy for investors' portfolios. 
 
Join Nancy Davis, CIO of Quadratic Capital, for a discussion on how to position portfolios for increasing inflation, interest rate uncertainty, and a different approach to fixed income in a post-pandemic world.
