7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: big take story today is awesome. I used to work

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: with Credit Swiss, so I had an interest in it.

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Um and the story is just fascinating. Um. You think

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: about these Russian billionaire oligarchs and their super yachts and

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: owning you know, football clubs in London and so on

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: and so forth. There's gotta be some bankers to those folks,

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: and sure enough, Credit Swiss found. Can you believe? There

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: in Switzerland? Shock. Marion Hofftemeyer, also in Switzerland, she's a

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: finance reporter for Bloomberg News, brings us this story. Mary

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: talked to us about Credit Swiss and the business it

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: had built has built in Russia and kind of where

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: we are today with the sanctions and so on. Yes,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: sure so, Credits WECE actually is one of the earliest

20
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: banks to have a big presence in Russia. They came

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 1: in post you know, sore Week, Soviet Union UM, and

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: they really started to connect with a lot of these

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: individuals who are gaining UM access to privatization and gaining

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: wealth from that. And so you know, a lot of

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: the money started supporting and then the first place you

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: think of when you're looking for with private banking or

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: for private banking in Switzerland, it's it's got an expertise

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: in it, so you know, you end up having this

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: this man but like Desmalsci, who was in a position

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: to really receive these individuals who needed, you know, advice

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: on how to buy companies, where to invest their money,

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, how to how to structure different transactions they

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: were trying to do. And so that's where Credits really

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: played a NSI and of course other banks have also

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: been present in this space, but Credit seems to have

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: a little bit more UM exposure and connection to the Marion.

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: I once heard a story and I don't know if

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: it's true, so you can correct me if I'm off base,

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: but I want to just share it to illustrate UM.

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: The perception of Swiss bankers in the Second World war,

41
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: the Nazis were killing Jews and taking the gold from

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: their teeth and storing it in Swiss banks, and these

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: bankers knew what they were taking, right, There's this perception

44
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: that the Swiss are willing to be bankers to the

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: most evil people on the planet. UM. Is that that

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: is that is a perception. UM. It's a perception that

47
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: stems from some truth, obviously, but but it's it's not

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: that they're choosing to bank with the you know, the

49
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: most horrible people of the world. It's just Swiss banking

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: has traditionally UM welcomed money UM and hasn't asked as

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: many questions as as other jurisdictions have. And they've they've

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: been really entrenched in this idea of banking secrecy UM

53
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: to protect wealth. And you know, with that you bring

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: that example up, they were they were actually also protecting

55
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: many Jewish families wealth UM, avoiding avoiding that wealth from

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: being taken by the Nazis. So there's both sides to it, UM.

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: And so there have been you know, long debates and

58
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: court cases around this UM. But it's difficult, it is

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: a difficult area to operate in. Now, of course, we

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: have the fall of banking secrecy. So there's a lot

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: of accordance with other countries and tax you know, agreements,

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: and so there's a lot less secrecy around it than

63
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: historically has been well, and there must be some reputational

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: um concern on uh the executive level. Right. They don't

65
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: want to be seen as the banker to Kim Jong un.

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: They don't want to be seen as the banker to

67
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin? Do they? No? No, I mean definitely not.

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: And in banks in general, I mean especially so thanks

69
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: for other banks as well. I have have in recent

70
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: years with k y C anti money laundering or you know,

71
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: the extra restrictions are being put in place have avoided

72
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: some of these individuals, these politically exposed individuals, because precisely,

73
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, if the person, the person could be fine

74
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: for now, but who knows, you know, in a couple

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: of years from now, what that person might get involved

76
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: with that might paint you know, the bank and then

77
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: alienate their other clients who don't want to be associated

78
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: with the bank, who you know is banking people you

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: don't want to associate with. So it's a difficult lyne

80
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: to walk. But at one point, I mean a lot

81
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: of these clients were not sanctioned. They were just regular businessmen. Yes,

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: they made their money in the post plutin opposed to

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: Soviet era um privatization process, but they were, you know,

84
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: not untouchable. These were regular clients, and now they'd be

85
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: they've become untouchable. So it's with many banks, it's a

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: it's a problem about assessing, you know, what what level

87
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: of risk, what level of probability are these clients going

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: to be untouchable? You know that you're reporting is just

89
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: rich in detail here. I really love your news item

90
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: here that you and Hugo Miller, your colleague put together.

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: The numbers are just amazing. At one point, Credit Swiss

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: managed more than sixty billion dollars belonging to rich Russians

93
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: and that brought in to Credit Swiss five hundred six

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: billion dollars in revenue per year. What's happened to that

95
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: business with all these sanctions? Here? This business is gone,

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: it's dead. It's dead. And and and those aren't necessarily

97
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: my words, those are the words of the bank. Um.

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: You know, it started when you have you know, the

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: annexation of Crimea and some things just came out, Um

100
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: that you know, it's started to show the bank you know,

101
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: this might not be an area of growth for us anymore. Um,

102
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: but that was sort of a limited uh downfalls to

103
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: speaker decrease in revenues. Now we've really seen basically businesses

104
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: it's dead. It's it's all, there's nothing left. All they're

105
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: doing is basically managing money that's in frozen accounts. But

106
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: they can't do deals anymore. They can't transact, they can't

107
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: trade for their clients, and that's really where they're making

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: the most banks of their book. Yeah, there's a you

109
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: have a quote from Gotstein in here, the CEO, saying

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: you basically can't touch them. We don't have any business

111
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: with Russian clients at all. Yep. It's interesting thing. So yeah,

112
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: and you have some great photos in your uh in

113
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: story as well. In terms of Alisher's MS super yacht

114
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: named Bill Barr, it's undercovers at the Bloom and Voss

115
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: dockyard in Hamburg in March, and so it seems like

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get their hands on those Russian Allegar yachts.

117
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's an exercise and excess though, I mean,

118
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: you have to have at least two helicopters on your Yeah, yeah, no,

119
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: no question. All right, Marian, thank you so much for that.

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: Marion Hofmeyer, financial reporter for Bloomberg News. She is based

121
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: in Switzerland. That's a great thing about Bloomberg News. We've

122
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: got people all over the place. If there's news anyone

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: who's planet, we're going to find it. Let's go right

124
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: to our next guest, Kevin Nicholson, Global Fixed Income Co

125
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: c i O, CO head of Investment Committee at Riverfront

126
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Investment Group. Kevin, I look at the corporate bond Total

127
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: Return Index year to date down. What happened? Well, it's

128
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: been a year had everything has gone down. I mean

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: you look at the treasury market, treasuries, you know, senior

130
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: treasuries up a hundred and twenty five basis points from

131
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: where it started the year. And uh, you know, corporate

132
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: spreads have widened. So that's where why you've seen these

133
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: negative returns in the fixed income market. And you know

134
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: corporations are not uh you know, are not immune um

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: from football out and so uh, you know you're going

136
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: to continue to see yields rise in my opinion, across

137
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: the board as the FED continues. It's tightening cycle. Um.

138
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: But if we expect the FED to go to three, um,

139
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: they're almost there. It doesn't it become priced in at

140
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: some point? I mean, uh, don't you start buying bonds

141
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: for the yield? Oh? Yeah, I mean I think that

142
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: bonds are attractive at this point in the cycle. Uh.

143
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I've been kind

144
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: of preaching to our clients is that you know, you've

145
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: taken the long term excuse me, the short term pain

146
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to get the long term gain. Uh. You know, when

147
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: you're purchasing bonds, obviously the starting yield that you purchase

148
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: them at is going to most likely be your return UM,

149
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: And so you want to make sure that you know,

150
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: at these current yields, you're going to actually have some

151
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: room or yields to go higher without the price depreciation

152
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: overwhelming the annual income generation. And so that's why we

153
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: are focused at the front end of the curve, because

154
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: you're getting more yield per unit of duration, and so

155
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: that allows you to have a larger cushion for if

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: yields wise, that you're not going to have that depreciation

157
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: overwhelmed that income. Whereas if you go to the long

158
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: end of the curve. You're not getting paid for that

159
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: extra duration, and uh, you have a lot less cushion

160
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: about half as much. Kevin, how concerned are you in

161
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: your team there riverfront about this federal reserve and its

162
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: ability too? I know, engineer kind of a soft landing

163
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: visa the rising interest rates and having a policy risk

164
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: maybe going too far, too fast and pushing us into

165
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: a recession. How do you guys think about that? Well,

166
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, about a couple of weeks ago, we went

167
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: through the exercise because we looked at the beds UM

168
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: target for the end of the year of CORPC of

169
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: four point one percent, and we were like, how did

170
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: we get there by a year in um and have

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: a soft landing? So they speak um and over the

172
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: last twelve months, CORPC has averaged about UM forty two

173
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: basis points per month, and so therefore, in order for

174
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: the BED to hit their rates target by the end

175
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: of the year, that means that corp c a PC

176
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: must average about thirty three basis points. So you're gonna

177
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: have per month, So you're gonna have a huge slowdown.

178
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: We don't see the inflation cooling that fast, and so

179
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: therefore we continue to believe that you know, yields are

180
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: going to be materially higher by the end of the year.

181
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: And so that's why we maintain um that you know,

182
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: to have a shorter duration. And we don't think that

183
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the FED is going to have a soft landing. We

184
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: think that they're going to overtighten and push us into

185
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: recession ultimately. And uh, do they then turn around and

186
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: cut I mean, I know, now we're going pretty far

187
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: out and it's hard enough to forecast you know, the

188
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: next twelve months, But do you expect the Fed to

189
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: uh try and fix a mistake? Well? I think the

190
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: big thing here is that the FED wants to get

191
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: rates normalized UM, so that if they do over uh,

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: if they overtighten, they have the ability to have some

193
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: room to be able to lower rate um. You know,

194
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: but at current you know, at current levels, even if

195
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: we were to if they were to stop let's just

196
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: say here or you know, a rate or two hikes more, UM,

197
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: it's not going to be enough to give them dry

198
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: powder going forward. So I think that that if they

199
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: do overtighten the economy, um, they will they will make

200
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: sure that a the inflation is under wraps at this

201
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: point I think inflation is the most important thing for

202
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: them to fight, and so for the FED, if they

203
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: send us in the recession and inflation is still high,

204
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: then I don't think that they're going to stop there. Um,

205
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, because the FED poot is gone, and so

206
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: now it's really about trying to get inflation under control.

207
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Where you where are you? You're off? You're off? Where

208
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: are you putting money to work? Kevin? Given your backshop,

209
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: which is pretty darn didn't I would say, you know,

210
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: kind of kind of a dark outlook. Yeah, I mean,

211
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: you know, it's only dark in the in the short term,

212
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: to be quite honest. I mean we're looking at opportunities

213
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: and you know, and from a fixed income standpoint, we're

214
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: still looking at bank loans and UH and high yield UH.

215
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: In the equity markets, UM, you are wanting to get

216
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: paid to wait, so we're looking um for dividend paying stocks.

217
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: We're looking at covered cost strategies UM. And combine that

218
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: with our high yell UH and bank loan approach. That's

219
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: the idea of you know, getting paid to weight. And

220
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: so we think that we're going to you know, we're

221
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. It's just that the markets. As we

222
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: all talk about all the time, uncertainty, and right now

223
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: we're in an uncertain time and it just I just

224
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: feel like markets are going to be ranged bound. I'm

225
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: not saying that it's harm again, I don't believe that.

226
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: Um I think that, you know, if we go into recession,

227
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: it's not going to be until late twenty three into

228
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: so we have some time on our side. It's just

229
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: a matter of being selective, all right, Kevin, good, good stuff.

230
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: We appreciate getting your thoughts and your perspective there. Kevin Nicholson.

231
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: He's a global fixed income co c i O and

232
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: co head of Investment Committee at Riverfront Investment Group in

233
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the lovely city of Richmond, Virginia, where I spent a

234
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: lot of time back in the day. All Right, for

235
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: my good friend Renny and I, we look at the

236
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: summer as the Triple Crown, and this weekend is a

237
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: first leg of the triple Crown. Memorial Day then of

238
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: course you've got four and then Labor Day. So when

239
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: we get to the first leg of the triple Crown,

240
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: you start thinking about seafood and laps to Mark Morrell.

241
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: He does he does this lobster thing full time. He's

242
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: a founder and CEO of Get Main Lobster Mark. Thanks

243
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: so much for joining us here. A lot of folks

244
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: are starting to think more and more about getting those

245
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,239
Speaker 1: fresh lobsters. Talk to us about the lobster market today.

246
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we see inflation everywhere return. How is it

247
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: with the lobster guys. Yeah, it's insane right because fuel,

248
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: they labor, you know, everything is up. So the lobster

249
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: men are feeling. It's the warf owners are feeling at

250
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: the processors my company, so because then you have to

251
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: calculate what was the market there, and the market understands

252
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: what's going on, so they know they're paying a little

253
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: bit more, and the die hard lobster lovers um you know,

254
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: are still buying. So it's an interesting time for sure. Yeah,

255
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: I was wondering about the demand. I mean for me. Also,

256
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: the summer is marked in July and August by the

257
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Lobster Party, by the place I go to, the beach

258
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: place I go in the summer. We have the Lobster

259
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Party one each month and it's like the party to

260
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: go to um. But as we're all sort of tightening

261
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: our belts here because of six dollar a gallon gas

262
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: and you know, um groceries that are all of a

263
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: sudden costing of our paychecks rather than ten to fifteen

264
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: do we still reach for the lobster demands? Has not

265
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: waned as much as I thought it would. Uh, really

266
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: interesting and um, I mean one of the things lobster

267
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: is very celebratory, so not something people eat every day,

268
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: but if they want a special event to be that

269
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: much more special than lobsters could go to. By the way,

270
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: is lobster still the best? I mean I think of

271
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: main lobster as the pinnacle right caught in some freezing

272
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: cold waters by a guy with a sick accent in

273
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: a sweet trawler like But um, is it still the

274
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: only way? Are there lobster farms? Are their genetically engineered lobsters?

275
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: What's the story? Yeah? I think lab lobsters are in

276
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the future. I haven't heard of anything now here and

277
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: me and the only thing I fell was wild caught

278
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: by hand by an individual typically generational lobsters man or woman.

279
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool, big heritage here and the process

280
00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: really hasn't changed much. I mean, how have the the

281
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: lobster people in Maine, in New England, how have they

282
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: fared over the past few years with the pandemic, How's

283
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: their business changed, how have they evolved? Because you know,

284
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: whenever we talked to people that are in different parts

285
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: of the economy, I was like to get a sense

286
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: of kind of how their life, how their business has changed. Yeah,

287
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: it was different for everyone during the pandemic, and a

288
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand in the lobster industry itself,

289
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: when the shutdown occurred, you got rid of casinos, cruise ships,

290
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: in a bunch of restaurants. Those are big, big suppliers

291
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: of lobster that people don't realize. So when you have

292
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: large purveyors that have tanks and freezers filled with lobster

293
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: and nowhere for it to go, they rely on businesses

294
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: like mine, where are online direct consumer. We shipped the

295
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: product so um. It was really interesting. Typically the price

296
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: goes up and down throughout the year depending upon supply

297
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: and demand. But demand was super duper high and supply

298
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: was super duper high. Uh, and then supply started to

299
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: get low um, and we had an entire year of

300
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: not much price change. Um and then suddenly I've never

301
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: seen lobster prices as high as they got recently it

302
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: was it was wild and because demand was still really

303
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: high but supply was low. But it would the uncertainty

304
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: what is this supply like, you know, is it a

305
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: what is this lobsters? You know, natural lobsters? Is it?

306
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: Is it on the rebound? Is it good? Is it endangered? Um? No,

307
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: So main super sustainable and by designed by the lobster

308
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: men and women themselves. So we're never going to have

309
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: any supply issues from what is in the ocean. Um.

310
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: So that's great news. Um. You know other markets from

311
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: the overly privy too. I don't study the Canadian on

312
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to buy Canadian but I don't, you know,

313
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: study elsewhere. But we don't catch anything below a pound

314
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: and nothing above four pounds, so that we can let

315
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: them grow. And then the big ones, you know, we

316
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: want to keep them around because they're you know, they're breathing.

317
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: I will point out there have been you know, during

318
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the lockdown, Maine started selling recreational weed. I don't know

319
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: if that has anything to do with the demand. I

320
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: don't know if that influences the demand picture or slows

321
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: down supply a little bit. But um, but you're moving

322
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: into a new era and I mean, like you said,

323
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: everything's still done traditionally in sustainable ways and it's an

324
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: incredible heritage. But now you're selling an n f T.

325
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: What's that all about? What you got to tell us

326
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: about it? It's crazy. So back in November, um, I

327
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: discovered a beautiful one million rare lobster that lobs. I'm

328
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna work with Billy or Smith harvested and we have

329
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: a relationship where I acquire a of his catch. So

330
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: um it was. Her name is Hattie Cotton colored cotton

331
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: candy colored lobsters. She's like blues and paints. If you

332
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: google or Hattie cotton candy lobster. I'm on it, and

333
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: I'm on it right now. Yeah, I mean, mother nature

334
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: created something epic. Um So I was inspired by her,

335
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do some cool projects. One was

336
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: created an I P A with shipyard called Hattie's Happy

337
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: I p a UM And then the n f T project,

338
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: which I'm super pumped about, is Hattie's Bay Club. And

339
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: so it's this Web two or a Web two business

340
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: jumping into Web three, and we're bringing what it's called

341
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: in real life utility to the Web three world. Typically

342
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: an n f T gives you access to an exclusive

343
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: group of people. It may give you if you stake

344
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: it and make you earned down the road. For us,

345
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: we want to use lobster in the web three world

346
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: and say hey, you get this n f T, and

347
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: we're doing monthly giveaways. We're giving tempercent fact and marine conservation.

348
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Those that collect and hold rare n f T get

349
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: access to potentially lobster for a year and just a

350
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: bunch of fun, uh fun things. And we're actually launching

351
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: a merchandise website called b Hattie dot com and of

352
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: the profits are going to token holders, So if you

353
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: hold an n f T, you're gonna get the profits

354
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: on this apparel website that was inspired by by the

355
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: way I'm looking at pictures of this lobster and she

356
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: is amazing. One of a million chances of finding she

357
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: still alive? Is how he still alive? Yeah? Yes, right,

358
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: Sea coastein Center in Ryan, New Hampshire, and she's alive

359
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: and well, all right, Mark, awesome, awesome stuff. Best a

360
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: lot to you and Hattie. Mark Morrell, founder and CEO

361
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: of Get Main Lobster. All right, let's talk real estate,

362
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: because I the peak of real estate when Matt bought

363
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: his home. I'm going to call that the peak. We

364
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: got interest rates rising here, so I'm just wondering what

365
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: the impact is on not just residential, a commercial real

366
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: estate as well. Has some Naji, President and CEO of

367
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: Marcus and Millichap joins us Hassan, thanks so much for

368
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: joining us here. Has real estate peaked here? I mean,

369
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: it's been such a great asset class during the pandemic,

370
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: but has it peaked? Good morning, Thanks for having me

371
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: on the program. Their market is definitely going through a

372
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: transition when you have interest rates at zero and now

373
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: having to move up to what is really considered normal

374
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: interest rates. Three year on the ten year treasury yield

375
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: or even frankly three and a half or four yield

376
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: on the pin your treasury is not high interest rate

377
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: by historical standards. We're going from zero and going rapidly

378
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 1: because the Fed now has to react to the inflation

379
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: threat or these inflation reality. I should say it is

380
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: causing a market transition, especially on the for sale housing

381
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: side of the equation, because prices are up so much

382
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: since the prior to the pandemic, and now you have

383
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: higher interest rates moving people into apartment rentals. On the

384
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: commercial side, the lack of overbuilding and really strong fundamentals

385
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: prior to the pandemic and still today is really the

386
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: safety net on top of renk Walks rank well for

387
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: commercial real estate is coming back extremely strongly. And that's

388
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: why commercial real state is an inflation well cause has

389
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: some We have columnists here Cameron Cries who wrote a

390
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: piece today about housing the housing market saying that's not pretty,

391
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: but it isn't two thousand six. This isn't going to

392
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: be a repeat of the bubble bursts that caused the

393
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Great Financial Recession, because a great financial crisis, because um,

394
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: you don't have the rising supply that you did. We've

395
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: seen these incredible UH price increases and in fact, if

396
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: you look at the average median you know, on the

397
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: residential side, the average median home, um, the mortgage payment

398
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: has gone up more than fifty percent UM. But you

399
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: don't have the overproduction that you had back then, and

400
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's the same on the commercial side.

401
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. On top of the lack of overbuilding

402
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: for all those estates, housing and commercial, you also had

403
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: lenders that stayed very disciplined during this last cycle. Unlike

404
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: oh five, oh six, oh seven, where there was so

405
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: much leverage in the system, underwriting standards had loosened so much,

406
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: and there was a lot of non performing loans when

407
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: the O A O nine recession hit. That is extremely

408
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: different from what we're experiencing now. As lenders did stay disciplined.

409
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: We don't have a six bank system, we don't have

410
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of loans about to go into default, and

411
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: so all of that provides really good sort of a

412
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: safety net on valuations. But prices are adjusting. Obviously. When

413
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: interest rates go from you know, three or three and

414
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: a half percent on your average apartment loan to four

415
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: and a half percent, you know in a matter of

416
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: a few months, that's going to create some pricing pressure. Uh.

417
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Same with the office buildings, who are suffering even more

418
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: because the demand side on office is much more questionable

419
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: than apartments, storage units, even retail that is now seeing

420
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of a revolution of the use of brick and

421
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: mortar retail creating a lot of investment opportunities. So I

422
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: think fundamentals are going to prevent a wholesale price correction,

423
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: but we're seeing pockets where a lot of appreciation has

424
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: led to record pricing, those are adjusting a little bit.

425
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: And I'll say it again, rank growth is the key

426
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: apartment rents nationwide. Of for the first quarter of this year,

427
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: we're up more than year earlier, and people have nowhere

428
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: else to live, So that rank growth is going to

429
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: continue at a healthy place. Maybe not quite as as

430
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: hot as this then, but definitely in the double digit range.

431
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: Hassam talked to us about supply of residential housing. You know,

432
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: I think one of the themes that I've picked up

433
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: over the last several years, if not longer, was when

434
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: the builders build stuff, they're building the McMansions, the stuff

435
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: where they've got a really nice profit margin, and not

436
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: necessarily building the entry level home. And that's part of

437
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: the big problem we're seeing in in rents, for example,

438
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: is that changing at all our builders trying to cater

439
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: to some of the entry level. The design has really

440
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: changed in the last ten years, from mega mansions to

441
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 1: more of the median affordable, you know, three to four

442
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: bedroom homes that that families can actually afford. The change, though,

443
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: is the fact that land prices have skyrocketed, supply material

444
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: costs have gone way up, and labor costs have gone

445
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: way up, so it's become a lot harder to build,

446
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: it's become a lot more expensive to build. And we're

447
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: also seeing a new phenomenon of institutional capital coming into

448
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: the built for rent single family market, where a lot

449
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: of the inventory that's being built is being built to

450
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: be rented, not to be sold. So if you look

451
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: at this various trans affecting for sale housing, that's a

452
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: pretty important one in which is really evolved over the

453
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: last five years. What do you expect from the Fed here?

454
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: Some I mean, um, you know, a huge portion of

455
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: the price increase I think uh. Cameron Cries wrote earlier

456
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: that you know of the increase in monthly payments over

457
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: the last year has come from the Fed's efforts to

458
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: curb inflation. So does that continue into we see mortgage

459
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: rates continuing to rise and does it infect effect commercial

460
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: as well? Yeah, I think the set is gonna have

461
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: to stay aggressive. They can't back off. Now. I don't

462
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to go overboard. But the remainder

463
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: of this year I believe will bring significant successive interest

464
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: rate increases, and it is to be expected. The inflation

465
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: phenomenon is something that was not predicted and it's really

466
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: a function of recovering from this terrible pandemic and the

467
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: liquidity that was pumped into the system. You could argue

468
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: that they overdid it, but better to have overdone it

469
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: than undershot and have us being a deflationary environment, which,

470
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: as you know, it's much harder to fight. I think

471
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: interest rates are going to be on the rise, but I,

472
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: unlike many, I don't expect it to get out of hand.

473
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: I think the market can absorb another fifty It is

474
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: seventy five basis points two three and a half percent

475
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,439
