Episode notes

Rising inequality, environmental pressures, increased protectionism and the reduced effectiveness of monetary policy have put institutions globally under stress. But the tools and policies used in the past may not be effective in solving these challenges. As the world pushes up against its structural limit, what does this mean for geopolitics, economies and markets?

On this episode of The Bid, the first of a two-part series, we’ll go behind the scenes at our Investment Forum to hear from thought leaders and investors including Philipp Hildebrand, Vice Chairman of BlackRock; Tom Donilon, Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute; Brian Deese, Global Head of Sustainable Investing; and Teresa O’Flynn, Global Head of Sustainable Investing Strategy for BlackRock Alternatives.
