GIC and Bridgewater Identify the Major Issues Facing Investors in the Years Ahead

As part of the 30th anniversary of the relationship between Bridgewater and GIC, the entity that is responsible for managing Singapore’s international reserves, our two organizations have led a series of joint research projects to identify and assess the issues we think are most important for investors to grapple with in the years ahead. In this videocast, Head of Client Service and Editor of the BDO Jim Haskel discusses the takeaways of that work with Jeffrey Jaensubhakij, Group Chief Investment Officer of GIC; Liew Tzu Mi, Chief Investment Officer for Fixed Income & Multi Asset and Chair of the Sustainability Committee; and our own co-Chief Investment Officer Greg Jensen.

The conversation focuses on four areas, the first three of which are from our joint research: (1) US exceptionalism in the economy and markets, including what produced it and whether it’s likely to continue; (2) Artificial intelligence, with a focus on AI’s potential for transformative impacts on productivity, and the challenges that stand in the way; (3) China's economy, including the deflation emanating from China and what this means for investors; and (4) Sustainability, discussing how GIC approaches its own sustainable investing efforts.

We extend our gratitude to Jeffrey and Tzu Mi for their participation in this discussion, and to GIC for 30 years of partnership.
