Program Description:
The global economy seems to be at an inflexion point trying to balance the effects of trade wars and overall deceleration of global manufacturing activity with accommodating central banks and a resilient and healthy consumer. Mr. Aguilar’s presentation will focus on the impact of these balancing macro forces in the global markets for 2020. In particular, the effect of lower and/or negative interest rates and the role of investor sentiment under the rising geopolitical uncertainty.
During Mr. Aguilar’s discussion on the current macro-economic environment he will also shine a light on behavioral biases that investors grapple with when making decisions about their money. With advanced degrees in both statistics and decision sciences, he will address how identifying behavioral biases and incorporating that knowledge in client portfolios can help investors achieve better financial outcomes.
