Bob Elliott: Entering A Seismic Shift In Private Markets

On today's episode of "On the Margin", Bob Elliott CIO of Unlimited Funds joins the show to discuss everything happening in markets right now. Prior to founding Unlimited, Bob was a Senior Investment Executive at Bridgewater Associates where he served on the Investment Committee and created investment strategies, many of which were used in the flagship Pure Alpha fund.

Having studied previous macroeconomic cycles, Bob states "this is a textbook inflationary cycle". Bob goes on to discuss the new higher rate environment we are in compared to the last decade, what it means for the economy and which assets will be perform best, or worst, in this environment.

Finally, Bob takes his years of experience investing in private markets to explain how "the era of cheap money" will effect those private market valuations into 2023 and beyond. To hear all this and more, you'll have to tune in!
