LIVE: Research Retreat 2021, North America and EMEA
Navigating the financial markets has never been easy. Add a global health pandemic and economic crisis, a choppy recovery, the effects of climate change and the demand for diversification, and making informed decisions can be even more difficult. While forecasting what lies ahead can be challenging at best, how you prepare for it doesn’t have to be. Industry leaders, academic partners and our own team of macro strategists came together at State Street LIVE: Research Retreat to share their insights on the threat of inflation, an outlook for the second half of 2021, the rise in digital currencies, climate change vulnerabilities, and more.
