Learning Objectives In this session we will: 1) Learn what McKinsey & Company calls, “the biggest growth opportunity in the history of capitalism”; 2) How the smartphone is capturing the growth of the Emerging Markets consumer sector; 3) How the largest Emerging Market ETF’s are fundamentally flawed; 4) Discuss the impact of recent U.S. legislation on delisting of U.S. listed Chinese companies. 3:00 P 1.00
Outlook for 2021 Josh Hirt, CFA The COVID-19 pandemic has produced the most pronounced economic shock in nearly a century. In 2020, recessions around the world were sharp and deep, with significant supply-chain disruptions at times. That said, perhaps more than in previous recessions, policymakers were aggressive in supporting financial markets and their economies. While the global economy continues to recover as we head into 2021, the battle between the virus and humanity's efforts to stanch it continues. This presentation will: 1) review current economic and investment trends; 2) potential risks and implications for the economy, the markets, and your clients; 3) Risks to economic growth and at the labor market, monetary policy, and inflation; 4) Health developments. 4:05 P 1.00
