Global Perspectives: A Contrarian Approach through the COVID Recovery
In the latest episode of our Global Perspectives podcast series, join Adam Hetts, Global Head of Portfolio Construction and Strategy, as he speaks with Portfolio Manager Nick Schommer about how an independent mindset has shaped his investment approach through a volatile ‒ and unique ‒ COVID environment.
Key Takeaways
- Each economic crisis presents different challenges, and the COVID investment environment ‒ marked by aggressive stimulus and consumer strength ‒ has certainly been unique.
- A favorable monetary and fiscal backdrop, along with ongoing bouts of volatility, have created value in some unexpected areas of the market thus far.
- As we enter the next phase of recovery, we believe opportunity may be found in identifying companies with pricing power that can grow earnings and cash flow in an environment where we are likely to see structurally higher inflation.
