CIO Live Global: Staying on message — with R.P. Eddy, CEO of Ergo

AI has remained the dominant force in markets in the first half of the year, driving equities higher despite rising yields, firmer inflation, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Meanwhile, geopolitics continues to play an important role in shaping expectations for inflation, interest rates, energy markets, and investor sentiment. As the investment landscape broadens beyond the US, investors must balance further upside potential with concentration risk, diversification, high-quality fixed income, and protection against a wider range of risks.

To explore the latest market, geopolitical, and portfolio implications, Kiran Ganesh, Global Head of Investment Communications, moderates a discussion with Mark Andersen, Co-Head CIO Global Asset Allocation, David Lefkowitz, CIO Head of US Equities, and R.P. Eddy, CEO of Ergo—a geopolitical and economic intelligence firm advising governments and major global businesses on critical world events.
