EP 81: Q4 2023 Insight, The Shifting Sands of the Global Economy | 5th October 2023

10/13/2023
Join us on Beyond the Benchmark as we review the Q4 2023 Insights document. We've been pleasantly surprised by the resilience of certain economies this year, especially the US, Brazil, and India. Our team, including Paul Temperton, Stefan Gerlach, Daniel Murray, GianLuigi Mandruzzato, Joaquin Thul, and Sam Jochim, discuss these economic patterns and their implications. As we navigate the current landscape, we also focus on the return of real yields in fixed-income markets and speculate on where the Fed might land when the dust settles. In the next segment of our conversation, we focus on the intriguing dynamics of equity market volatility, the potential for a shift in bond prices to equity prices, and what a Fed rate cut might imply. We also reflect on the historical methods that governments have employed to reduce public debt and the challenges associated with achieving this without resorting to financial repression or inflation. As we explore the rising deficits in the U.S., we consider how this might impact the attractiveness of the dollar and who's currently investing in US treasuries. In the final segment of our discussion, we turn our gaze to the UK and German economies, evaluating the recovery timeline of the UK housing market and the issues facing the German economy. From the need for increased defense spending and digitalization to the outdated traditional German growth model, we cover it all. Wrapping up, we also contemplate the Eurozone's trade deficit with China and the potential implications of China's slowing economy. From real estate in China to India's GDP, we offer an in-depth analysis of these global economic trends.

EP 80: Exploring the Human Brain and AI with Neuroscientist Pascal Kaufman | 14th September 2023

9/22/2023
On this episode of Beyond The Benchmark, we dive into the mind of a remarkable neuroscientist, Pascal Kaufmann. His academic prowess ranges from ancient Greek and Latin studies to his groundbreaking exploration of the connection between brains and robots. Pascal's ventures StarMind and Mindfire are pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing in an effort to understand the complexities of the human brain. We then shift gears to discuss the innovative approach Pascal employs to identify talent. Through challenges and engaging games, like the one from Lab42, he's able to attract the best minds. We also reflect on the crucial role of a dynamic team in retaining talent and the potential fallout that failing organizations face when they lose their top performers. Finally, we gaze into the future, exploring career predictions and the role of AI in shaping them. Pascal provides his insights on Large Language Models (LLMs) and the potential disruption they could bring to various industries. We discuss the ongoing race for AI dominance and how breakthroughs are not just about faster computers but innovative ideas and talent. Passion and a strong mission, Pascal believes, are the keys to staying ahead.

EP 78: Exploring the Dynamics of the US Economy with Don Rissmiller and Jason Trennert | 7th August 2023

8/14/2023
On this episode of Beyond the Benchmark, we welcomed Don Rissmiller and Jason Trennert from Strategas to dissect the complexities of the US economy and interest rates. They offer their insights into the current inflation problem, the challenges faced by central banks, and the balancing act between supply and demand. Listen in as we discuss the risks in the labor market, the effects of bank failures, and the need to avoid a stop-and-go policy. As the conversation progresses, we also examine the influence of AI on investing, the potential disruptions it could cause to stock-picking and GDP, and how large-cap companies stand to benefit. In the final part of our discussion, we ponder the future of hedge funds and globalization, exploring the potential implications of a soft landing in the US economy. We discuss the possibility of inflation decreasing without causing pain in the labor market, and the prospect of a new breed of hedge fund investors emerging in the coming years.
