Asset Allocation in a Bipolar World: Inflation vs. Deflation
MAY 04 2010

Executive Directors Lori Van Dusen and George Dunn present at the Barron's Winner's Circle Top Independent Advisors Summit on April 15th, 2010.

Investors generally fall into two camps – those who believe there is a greater risk of inflation and those who believe that deflation is the greater risk. In the absence of a crystal ball, this presentation discusses how to mitigate the risks of either outcome as organizations set their strategic goals.

This session will:

  • Review inflation and deflation from an historical perspective
  • Present the case for inflation and deflation
  • Examine correlations of various asset classes with inflation/deflation
  • Provide insight on how to position your organization's investment allocation to mitigate the impact of these potential outcomes on budgeting, spending and strategic objectives
