In this episode of the Debtwired Podcast, host Madalina Iacob is joined by Wariz Anifowoshe, Head of Restructuring at Fortress Investment Group, Kevin Fortunato, Portfolio Manager at Benefit Street Partners, and Scott Greenberg, Global Head of Restructuring at Gibson Dunn. A central theme of the discussion is AI-driven disruption, particularly in software, and how investors are positioning defensively while selectively hunting for opportunities. Panelists emphasize that AI risk is already reshaping maturity extensions, underwriting assumptions, and liability management decisions, especially for businesses facing rapid technological change. The group also explores what's driving the unprecedented speed at which loans are trading down from CLO technicals, group-formation risk, and growing familiarity with liability management exercises (LMEs). Speakers expect both more LMEs and an uptick in Chapter 11 filings this year, including failed LMEs from prior vintages where balance sheets were fixed, but businesses were not. They unpack why LMEs are neither inherently successes nor failures, why every situation is bespoke, and how sponsors and not creditors typically set these processes in motion. Finally, the speakers conclude that cooperation agreements (co-ops) remain an essential and widely used tool for collective creditor action, and there has been no meaningful slowdown in their use since Optimum filed an anti-co-op lawsuit against its creditors.

You can listen on your favourite podcast app, or you can find it on Spotify, Podbean or Apple Podcasts. In this episode, Chris and Ying Yi run a top-down markets scan: recent performance and the outlook for yields, how hyperscaler AI capex is feeding into bond supply, inflation expectations and term premia, and where value is emerging across major asset classes. They cover the next moves from the RBA and the Fed, implications for housing and growth, and whether AI ultimately proves disinflationary.

Noah Funderburk, Portfolio Manager and Director of Securitized Credit at Pioneer Investments, joins the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast for a deep dive into the mechanics that matter most in structured credit. In this episode, he explores why risk and discomfort are often the source of return, how credit risk and interest rate convexity can compound drawdowns, and why sponsor incentives should never be overlooked. The conversation moves beyond headline yield to focus on tranche-level analysis, correlation risk, asset obsolescence, and securitization structures that delever over time. For insurance investors allocating to ABS, RMBS, CMBS, and multi-sector portfolios, this discussion offers a practical framework for evaluating complexity, pricing uncertainty, and managing downside risk in an evolving market environment.

Mike also highlights the challenges both plan sponsors and members are likely to face in the years ahead, particularly as the shift from Defined Benefit to Defined Contribution plans continues.

John Petrides, Portfolio Manager at Tocqueville Asset Management, discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's decision to rule against President Trump's sweeping global tariffs, and what the lasting impact of AI will be on software stocks.
This week on Weathering Decarbonization, we welcome Hayn Park, Portfolio Manager for Energy Commodities, into the SmarterMarkets™ studio. David Greely sits down with Hayn to discuss how the energy transition is affecting power markets from fundamentals to their price dynamics and relationships to other markets – and what it takes to trade and manage risk in a more volatile and changing environment for power markets.
Markets are dealing with a rare mix of uncertainty drivers, and tariff headlines are back in play. In this environment, prediction is a fast way to get whipsawed. The key is to recognise the two-speed market early: stay with leadership, avoid the weak that keep failing, and build a target list so you can act when the next high probability setups appear. I also cover why gold and silver are starting to look constructive again after a period of consolidation. For the full experience, watch the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYljjvI-e7c
Markets react to a dramatic turn in the tariff debate as the Supreme Court struck down the IEEPA tariffs. Kristina Partsinevelos breaks down the market recap, while Eamon Javers and Emily Wilkins track the political response from the White House and Capitol Hill. Steve Liesman examines the broader economic implications, and Stifel's Brian Gardner analyzes what it means after key tariffs are struck down. Bob Elliott, CEO of Unlimited, and Adam Crisafulli of Vital Knowledge join to assess the market reaction, positioning shifts and whether volatility sticks. In retail, Dana Telsey breaks down sector reaction and what changing trade dynamics could mean for consumer-facing companies. Looking ahead, NVIDIA takes center stage.

Japan plans to invest $36 billion in US oil, gas and critical mineral projects, the first tranche of its $550 billion commitment under the trade agreement it struck with President Donald Trump. "Our MASSIVE Trade Deal with Japan has just launched!" Trump posted Tuesday on social media. "The scale of these projects are so large, and could not be done without one very special word, TARIFFS." The most significant investment is a natural gas facility in Ohio that's expected to generate 9.2 gigawatts of power, according to a statement from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a massive project which Trump described as "the largest in History." We spoke to Isabel Reynolds, Bloomberg's Tokyo Bureau Chief. Plus - Traders struggling to assess the outlook for artificial intelligence whipsawed stocks in another volatile session on Wall Street.

Think of how much more freedom you might have in retirement if you started building steady investment habits now—that's the idea behind Coast FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). Coast FIRE is a strategy where individuals save aggressively today so they can slowly move or "coast" towards part-time, then full retirement, all while letting compound growth do the work along the way. As more people rethink what early retirement could look like, Coast FIRE is becoming a compelling alternative, especially among do-it-yourself investors and busy professionals on a tight budget. But is it the right fit for all investors, and what does it really take to stay on track?Join Isabela Sagan, Manager, ETF Business Development, TD Asset Management Inc. (TDAM) and Benjamin Gossack , Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, TDAM as they examine the Coast FIRE path to retiring early. Highlights include:1:30 What is Coast FIRE?8:15 How ETFs fit into the Coast FIRE retirement strategy11:25 What matters most: saving early or chasing higher returns?12:50 What are some mistakes people make when working towards Coast FIRE?

The market narrative you think you're trading might be the one that breaks your portfolio.In this episode of Futures Edge, Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino sit down with Michael Green (Chief Strategist & Portfolio Manager, Simplify Asset Management) for a wide-ranging conversation that connects the dots between Bitcoin's structural problem, the controversy around the U.S. poverty line, gold/silver narrative trades, and the growing risk that passive investing distorts markets in ways traders aren't prepared for.Michael explains why “divisible” isn't the same as “elastic” (and why that matters for Bitcoin long-term), why the official poverty line may be radically outdated, and how modern markets can fail when liquidity disappears exactly when you need it. Plus: what he's watching for 2026—from tariffs and fiscal dynamics to Taiwan/semiconductors and the geopolitics reshaping global capital flows.Timestamps: 00:00 Intro + sponsors01:03 Michael in Annapolis + Naval Academy story03:01 Bitcoin debate: divisible vs elastic money09:18 “Just in case we're wrong?” BTC vs ETH/SOL11:53 The poverty line controversy: what people missed18:05 Absolute vs relative poverty (and why it matters)28:43 2026 outlook: tariffs, deficits, and volatility33:51 Silver & gold: narrative trades and momentum dynamics35:15 The Fed: rules vs discretion + unintended consequences39:51 2008: “cash became non-cash” and the liquidity spiral43:26 Passive investing: why the distortion matters48:15 China/Taiwan risk + semiconductors53:46 Gold as reserves diversification + de-dollarization incentives58:40 What Simplify does + how their ETF strategies workFollow along on social media: Twitter: https://x.com/bob_iaccinoTwitter: https://x.com/jimiuorioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-iaccino/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-iuorio/Newsletter: http://theunfilteredinvestor.com/This episode is sponsored by: Independence Ark: https://www.independenceark.com/Code: F U AmerGold https://www.amergold.com/Code; F U
Wir sind wieder da! Und ja, wir müssen uns an dieser Stelle entschuldigen, denn wir stellen leider fest: Immer wenn wir Urlaub machen oder eine kleine Pause vom Podcast einlegen, drehen die Märkte durch! Aber keine Sorge – wir sind zurück, und es kann wieder aufwärtsgehen! Heute sprechen die Babos ein fundamental wichtiges Thema an den Börsen an, nämlich: „Behavioral Finance“, oder auf Deutsch gesagt: die Psychologie der Börse. Auch wenn die Märkte langfristig effizient sind, sind sie kurzfristig alles andere – und genau dabei verlieren viele Anleger, auch professionelle, schnell die Nerven. Deshalb haben wir heute einen Top-Gast am Start, der mit uns gemeinsam das Thema Behavioral Finance und viele seiner wichtigen Aspekte durchleuchtet: Unser Gast: Björn Esser, Mitgründer und Portfolio-Manager bei Alturis Capital GmbH, ist seit 2001 am Markt aktiv und bringt seine langjährige Erfahrung heute mit in den Podcast. Björn teilt mit uns spannende Erkenntnisse und vor allem viele interessante Studien zum Thema Behavioral Finance – darunter auch die Ergebnisse einer coolen Umfrage, die wir vor Kurzem durchgeführt und geteilt haben. Außerdem erfahrt ihr heute: Warum Michael bei seinem einzigen Casinobesuch mal 1.000 Euro verloren hat, und Endrit teilt spannende Einblicke in seine wöchentliche Umfrage auf LinkedIn – unter anderem, warum sich manche nicht mehr trauen, daran teilzunehmen. Und noch viel wichtiger: Diese Folge ist eine wichtige Grundlage für eine spätere Folge mit Björn im Laufe des Jahres – dann zum Thema: Volatilität als Asset – und wie er dieses Konzept erfolgreich in seinem Fonds umsetzt. Also: Unbedingt reinhören – viel Spaß beim Zuhören und Teilen!

Our Chief Cross-Asset Strategist Serena Tang and senior leaders from Investment Management Andrew Slimmon and Jitania Kandhari unpack new investment trends from supportive monetary and fiscal policy and shifting market leadership. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Serena Tang: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Serena Tang, Morgan Stanley's Chief Cross Asset Strategist. Today we're revisiting the 2026 global equity outlook with two senior leaders from Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Andrew Slimmon: I am Andrew Slimmon, Head of Applied Equity Team within Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Jitania Kandhari: And I'm Jitania Kandhari, Deputy CIO of the Solutions and Multi-Asset Group, Portfolio Manager for Passport Strategies and Head of Macro and Thematic Research for Emerging Market Equities within Morgan Stanley Investment Management.It's Tuesday, February 3rd at 10 am in New York. So as investors are entering in 2026, after several years of very strong equity returns with policy support reaccelerating. As regular listeners have probably heard, Mike Wilson, who of course is CIO and Chief Equity Strategist for Morgan Stanley – his view is that we ended a three-year rolling earnings recession in last April and entered a rolling recovery and a new bull market. Now, Andrew, in the spirit of debate, I know you have a different take on valuations and where we are at in the cycle. I'd love to hear how you're framing this for investment management clients. Andrew Slimmon: Yeah, I mean, I guess I focus a little bit more on the behavioral cycle. And I think that from a behavioral cycle we're following a very consistent pattern, which is we had a bad bear market in 2022 that bottomed down 25 percent. And that provided a wonderful opportunity to invest. But early in a behavioral cycle, investors are very pessimistic. And that was really the story of [20]23 and really 2024, which were; investors, you know, were negative on equities. The ratios were all very negative and investors sold out of equities. And that's consistent with a early cycle. And then as you move into the third-fourth year, investors tend to get more optimistic about returns. Doesn't necessarily mean the market goes down. But what it does mean is the market tends to get more volatile and returns start to compress, and ultimately, bull markets die on euphoria. And so, I think it's late cycle, but it's not end of cycle. And that's my theme; is late cycle but not end of cycle.Serena Tang: And I think on that point, one very unusual feature of this environment is that you have both monetary and fiscal policy being supportive at the same time, which, of course, rarely happens outside of recession. So how do you see those dual policy forces shaping market behavior and which parts of the market tend to benefit? Andrew Slimmon: Well, that's exactly right. Look, the last time I checked, page one of the investment handbook says, ‘Don't fight the Fed.' And so, you have monetary policy easing. And what we; remember what happened in 2021? The Fed raised rates and monetary policy was tightening. Equities do well when the Fed is easing, and that's one of the reasons why I think it's not end of cycle. And then you layer in fiscal policy with tax relief coming, it is a reason to be relatively optimistic on equities in 2026. But it doesn't mean there can't be bumps along the way – and I think a higher level of optimism as we're seeing today is a result of that. But I think you stick with those more procyclical areas: Finance, Industrials, Technology, and then you move down the cap curve a little bit. I think those are the winning trades. They really started to come to the fore in the second half of last year, and I think that will continue into 2026. Serena Tang: Right. And we've definitely seen some bumps recently, but I think on your point around yields. So, Jitania, I think that policy backdrop really ties directly to your idea of the age of capped real rates. In very simple terms, can you explain what that means and what's behind that view? Jitania Kandhari: Sure. When I say age of real rates being capped, I mean like the structural template within which I'm operating, and real rates here are defined by the 10-year on the Treasury yield adjusted for CPI.Firstly, I'd say there was too much linear thinking in markets post Liberation Day. That tariffs equals inflation equals higher rates. Now, tariff impacts, as we have seen, can be offset in several ways, and economic relationships are rarely linear.So, inflation may not go up to the extent market is expecting. So that supports the case for capped rates. And the real constraint is the debt arithmetic, right? So, if you look at the history of public debt in the U.S., whenever there was a surge in public debt during the Civil War, two World Wars, Global Financial Crisis, even during COVID. In all these periods, when debt spiked, real rates have remained negative.So, there can be short term swings in rates, but I believe that markets not necessarily central banks will even enforce that cap. Serena Tang: You've described this moment, as the great broadening of 2026. What's driving this and what do you think is happening now after years of very narrow concentration? Jitania Kandhari: Yes. I think like if last decade was about concentration, now it's going to be about breadth. And if you look at where the concentration was, it was in the [Mag] 7, in the AI trade. We are beginning to see some cracks in the consensus where adoption is happening, but monetization is lagging. But clearly the next phase of value creation could happen from just the model building to the application layer, as you guys have also talked about – from enablers to adopters.The other thing we are seeing is two AI ecosystems evolve globally. The high cost cutting edge U.S. innovation engine and the lower cost efficiency driven Chinese model, each of them have their own supply chain beneficiaries. And as AI is moving into physical world, you're going to see more opportunities. And then secondly, I think there are limitations on this tariff policies globally; and tariff fears to me remain more of an illusion than a reality because U.S. needs to import a lot of intermediate goods And then lastly, I see domestic cycles inflecting upwards in many other pockets of the world. And you add all this up; the message is clear that leadership is broadening and portfolio should broaden too. Serena Tang: And I want to sort of stay on this topic of broadening. So, Andrew, I think, you've also highlighted, you know, this market broadening, especially beyond the large cap leaders, even as AI investment continues, I think, as you touched on earlier. So why does that matter for equity leadership in 2026? And can you talk about the impact of this broadening on valuations in general? Andrew Slimmon: Sure. So I think, you know, I've been around a long time and I remember when the internet first rolled out, the Mosaic browser was introduced in 1993. And the first thing the stock market tried to do is appoint winners – of who was going to win the internet, you know, search race. And it was Ask Jeeves and it was Yahoo and it was Netscape. Well, none of those were the winners. We just don't know who's ultimately going to be the tech winner. I think it's much safer to know that just like the internet, AI is a technology productivity enhancing tool, and companies are going to embrace AI just like they embraced the internet. And the reason the stock market doubled between 1997 and the dotcom peak was that productivity margins went up for a lot of companies in a lot of industries as they embraced the internet. So, to me, a broadening out and looking at lower valuations, it is in many ways safer than saying this is the technology winner, and this is technology loser. I think it's all many different industries are going to embrace and benefit from what's going on with AI. Serena Tang: You don't want to know where I was in 1993. And I don't recognize most of those names. Andrew Slimmon: Sorry. I was 14! Serena Tang: [Laughs] Ok. Investors often hear two competing messages now. Ignore the macro and buy great companies or let the big picture drive everything. How do you balance top-down signals with bottom-up fundamentals in your investment process? Andrew Slimmon: Yeah, I think you have to employ both, and I hear that all the time; especially I hear, you know, my competitors, ‘Oh, I just focus on my stock picks, my bottom up.' But, you know, look statistically, two-thirds of a manager's relative performance comes from macro. You know, how did growth do? How did value do? All those types of things that have nothing to do with what stock picks... And likewise, much of a return of an individual stock has to do with things beyond just what's happening fundamentally. But some of it comes from what's happening at the company level. So, I think to be a great investor, you have to be aware of the macro. The Fed cutting rates this year is a very powerful tool, and if you don't understand the amplifications of that as per what types of stocks work, because you're so focused on the micro, I think that's a mistake. Likewise, you have to know what's going on in your company [be]cause one third of term does come from actual stock selection. So, I'm a big believer in marrying a top down and a bottom up and try to capture the two thirds and the one third.Serena Tang: Since that 2022 bear market low that you talked about earlier. I mean, your framework really favored growth and value over defensives. But I think more recently you've increased your non-U.S. exposure. What changed in your top-down signals and bottom-up data to make global opportunities more compelling now? Is it the narrative of the end of U.S. exceptionalism or something else? Andrew Slimmon: No, I really think it's actually something else, which is we have picked up signals from other parts of the world, Europe and Japan. That are different signals than we saw really for the last decade, which is namely that pro-cyclical stocks started to work. Value stocks started to work in the first half of 2025. And you look at the history of when that happens, usually value doesn't work for a year and peter out. So that's been a huge change where I would say, a safer orientation has shown the relative leadership, and we have to be – recognize that. So, in our global strategies, we've been heavily weighted towards, the U.S. orientation because we didn't see really a cyclical bias outside. And now that's changing and that has caused us to increase the allocation to non-U.S. exposure. It's a longwinded way of saying, look, I think what the story of last year was the U.S. did just fine. But there were parts of the world that did better and I think that will continue in 2026. Serena Tang: Andrew, Jitania thank you so much for taking the time to talk. Andrew Slimmon: Great speaking with you, Serena. Jitania Kandhari: Thanks for having us on the show. Serena Tang: And thanks for listening.

In this week's episode, we sit down with Adam Johnson, Portfolio Manager of the Bullseye American Ingenuity Fund and author of the widely followed Bullseye Brief. Adam brings his signature 1980's Wall St. energy as we dive deep into current market dynamics, the power (and pitfalls) of short sellers, the AI productivity boom, inflation surprises, and what investors should brace for in 2026. We kick things off with Adam sharing some of his biggest surprises from the past year—including why several of his high‑conviction names stalled out despite strong fundamentals. From Toast to SMCI, Adam breaks down how aggressive short-selling and the removal of the SEC's old “uptick rule” have reshaped market behavior in the age of algorithmic trading. From there, we zoom out to the macro landscape: Why falling oil prices were the real inflation antidote in 2025 How AI is already creating meaningful productivity gains Why profit margins remain at historic highs despite tariffs, geopolitical tension, & political chaos And why, even after a massive run, the AI trade may only be in a consolidation phase—not the end of the story Then we look ahead. Adam reveals his two biggest predictions for 2026: 1. A market that climbs far higher than anyone expects thanks to accelerating earnings and a surprisingly strong U.S. economy. 2. A political “blue wave” scare in Q2 that could spark a sudden 20% pullback—only to set up an even more powerful rally as spending ramps up. We also get into: Whether oil is headed for the low $50s—and why that could be wildly bullish The “everything rally” and where value, growth, international, and commodities fit in now Why investor sentiment still isn't too hot… and why that matters The biggest real risks no one is talking about How to stay disciplined when the market tries to shake you out Finally, Adam shares the moment he knew he'd fully matured as a portfolio manager—and why long-term conviction is the ultimate superpower in the face of noise. This is one of our most wide-ranging, high-energy conversations of the year. If you care about where markets are headed—and how to position for the year ahead—you don't want to miss it.

We delve into the 2025 value investing playbook, discussing key themes such as the importance of valuation metrics, the cyclical versus structural decline in businesses, and the significance of buying with a margin of safety. Tobias emphasizes the need for investors to focus on financial statements rather than narratives, especially in a market driven by growth stocks. The conversation also touches on the current state of energy investments, the challenges of identifying value traps, and the potential for mean reversion in 2026, particularly in small and micro-cap stocks. Throughout the discussion, Tobias shares insights on navigating the complexities of the market and the importance of patience in value investing. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest 02:36 2025 Value Investing Playbook 09:07 Cyclical Pain vs. Structural Decline 12:57 The Role of Narratives in Investing 13:37 Margin of Safety and Business Quality 20:04 Mean Reversion and Small Cap Opportunities 22:32 Using Balance Sheets for Downside Protection 24:27 Going Where Others Won't: Global Opportunities 27:19 Learning from Mistakes in Investing 29:33 Value Investing Themes for 2026 35:10 The Importance of Balance Sheets in 2026 40:51 Behavioral Advantages in Value Investing 42:10 Final Thoughts and Future Outlook For more information about the Acquirers Funds, Value After Hours, and Tobias' latest book, "Soldier of Fortune", please visit: https://acquirersmultiple.com/ Planet Microcap hosts the highest quality in-person microcap events in North America.

In this episode of The Derivative, Jeff Malec dusts off the dress shoes and steps out from behind the webcam for his first in-person interview since before COVID. He heads to Potomac's studio to sit down with Dan Russo, Portfolio Manager and CIO, for a conversation on why investing theory often breaks down when real life shows up. This chat covers why market timing isn't about catching every move, it's about avoiding the ones that cause lasting damage. Dan also explains how Potomac applies systematic, rules-based models built on trend, breadth, and intermarket signals, why cash is a position, and why many popular investing slogans oversimplify risk.

In this episode of Mining Stock Daily, guest Tomasz Nadrowski, Portfolio Manager of Amvest Terraden Critical Materials Fund, joins the program to explore how critical minerals have transformed from a mere industry linchpin into a primary driver of global "mineral warfare." Nadrowski, the author of "Mineral War", explains how China has weaponized its production-focused economy to monopolize value chains, forcing Western nations to begin defending their strategic interests. The sources suggest that the minerals race is no longer decided by geology alone, but by complex processing pathways and the surrounding policy environments,. The discussion provides deep insights into the logistical hurdles of rebuilding Western supply chains, noting how a single mineral may cross the Pacific multiple times before becoming a finished product. The conversation further examines the "militarization of capital" and the increasing role of government intervention in directing strategic investment toward national security. Finally, the episode highlights the strategic importance and practical limitations of jurisdictions like Greenland and Ukraine in this era of intense geopolitical realignment.Find "Mineral War: China's Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction" HERE______TerraHutton empowers junior mining companies to secure investment with immersive, interactive, and visually striking storytelling.

Thank you to our sponsor, Figure! As tensions between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve rise, gold and silver have surged to record highs. Bitcoin, meanwhile, has struggled to keep pace, raising uncomfortable questions about its “digital gold” narrative. In this back-to-back Unchained episode, Vinny Lingham, cofounder of Xash, and Eric Fine, portfolio manager at VanEck, offer two distinct but complementary perspectives on what's happening beneath the surface of global markets. Vinny explains why gold's liquidity, trust, and central-bank adoption still dwarf Bitcoin's, and why that gap led him to design a gold-backed, reward-bearing stablecoin, USDX. Eric walks through VanEck's provocative analysis showing gold could reach $39,000 or even $184,000 if the dollar were to lose its reserve-currency dominance and gold had to back the money supply. He also dives into why some developed markets may be more fragile than investors assume.

Vinny explains why gold's liquidity, trust, and central-bank adoption still dwarf Bitcoin's, and why that gap led him to design a gold-backed, reward-bearing stablecoin, USDX. Eric walks through VanEck's provocative analysis showing gold could reach $39,000 or even $184,000 if the dollar were to lose its reserve-currency dominance and gold had to back the money supply. He also dives into why some developed markets may be more fragile than investors assume.
