1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, no Reel.

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: Rubini he is the CEO of Rubini Macro Associates, and

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: we're also joined by Atlas Capital Team CEO Raise A. Bundi,

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: who of course just launched this fund that we're talking about. Atlas,

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: of course is a fintech company that Rubini co founded.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 2: It's great to have the both of you with us,

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: and Noriel I want to start with you since you

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: are a first time ETF issuer, and something we like

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: to ask the debuts in the ETF industry is why now?

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: What brought you to this rapper now? When it comes

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: to why implement your strategy here?

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 3: Well, why now is because we live in a world

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: where after COVID, the risk of spaculationary shocks that lead

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: to high inflation and lower economic growth are becoming more

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: severe and these types of stackflationary problems are.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 4: Going to be more serious during IT administration.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: If you think about the impact of TARI protectionism and

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: trade wars, the impact of restriction to migration and the

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: SUPVIB labor deficits and tax cuts that are unfunded, attempt

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: to weaken the dollar, attempt to interfere with the fed,

21
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 3: getting out of the partis accord, and worsing in global

22
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: climate change. All these factors economic theory would suggest that

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: will lead to higher inflation, lower economic growth.

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: And therefore traditional safe assets.

25
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: That head you against those risks like long deguration fixing

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: income don't do well in that type of environment. So

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: you need a different type of asset location cred yourself

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: against the idea of economic risk, inflation, the business currency, edullarization,

29
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: geopolitical environmental risks.

30
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: Thank you for answering that. Clearly it's tied to your

31
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: economic health, and we can dig into that a little

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: bit later on. But Raza, I want to bring you

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: into the conversation as well, is why the etf rapper?

34
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: Why is that the best format for really articulating this view.

35
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 5: Well, the origin of the ATLAS program was out of

36
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 5: the national security landscape back in twenty seventeen, when we

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: were evaluating some of the risks that were kind of

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: upcoming in our view, geopolitical risks, climate risks, asymmetric risks,

39
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 5: socio political risks, and we felt that it was necessary

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 5: to build a more resilient US treasury alternative, and the

41
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: Trump administration actually came up with an idea of a

42
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 5: goldbacked treasury instrument, which we took upon ourselves to commercialize

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 5: because the Treasury Department couldn't do so themselves. It would

44
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 5: cannibalize their existing market, and they didn't have enough goal

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 5: to really create much of an issuance. See the origin

46
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 5: of this story came about by trying to create that

47
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 5: treasury alternative that could withstand the risks that we were forecasting.

48
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: And so therefore we thought the ETF rapper would be

49
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 5: the best solution, especially because we dynamically allocate these assets

50
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: as we see market signals coming in, whether growth or

51
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 5: inflation risks. So the UTF was just an ideal liquid

52
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 5: and very well regulated and well structured instrument.

53
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 6: All right, Noreel, this is a question for you. We

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 6: talk about inflation. Right in twenty twenty two, inflation went

55
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 6: up fed raise rates, and that caused treasuries to go down. Right,

56
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 6: A lot of bonds went down with stocks that year.

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 6: The sixth, the and the forty both fell. You have

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 6: fifty percent treasuries in here, and I did notice a

59
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 6: triple leverage bear ETF in there. Can you talk about

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: managing that kind of a situation where inflation causes rates

61
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 6: to go up, bonds to go down, how do you

62
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 6: protect this treasury.

63
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: Exposure point is that we are going away in our

64
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: portfolio from long duration sinkle and treasures because, as you

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: pointed out, when there are economic shocks that are inflationary,

66
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: long bund you go higher, the price falls, but also

67
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: equity price like twenty twenty two go down. So the

68
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: traditional safe acet is long duration treasury doesn't work in

69
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: a situation which inflation is rising. That's why in our

70
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: portfolio treasury we stay completely away from long term treasuries

71
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 3: and all our allocation of treasury is short term treasuries

72
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: and tips that actually do well in times where inflation

73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: is higher and we have those types of economic shocks.

74
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: So the point is the traditional safe asset that is

75
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: negatively correlated with equities in a sixty four allocation doesn't

76
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: do well in the world of higher inflation like we

77
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: saw in twenty twenty two, twenty three, even this year. Therefore,

78
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 3: you need an alternative, and alternative combines things that do

79
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: well when inflation is higher. Short term treasury keeps good

80
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: commodities and environmentally sustainable rates.

81
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: Nouriel.

82
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: That's really interesting and just to draw about on that point,

83
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: it sounds like your position basically for curve steepener, that

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: you have all this exposure to the short end of

85
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: the treasury curve a position for the long end yields

86
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: to go higher.

87
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, in our view of the world over time, all

88
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: the inflationary shocks that they scribed before implied that long

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: bond deals are going to be higher, both in nominal

90
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: terms and in real terms.

91
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 4: As we're going to have tariff migration restriction.

92
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: It depends on defense challenged and budget depths that run away. Therefore,

93
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 3: the traditional safe asset doesn't do well. You know, in

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, bond yields went from one percent to

95
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: three and a half and any treasury lost more than

96
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 3: a SMPS and p Fel fifteen percent. Why teny treasure

97
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: lost price by twenty percent. So in a world in

98
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: which average inflation might be five percent rather than two percent,

99
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: bond yields may be closer to seven eight percent rather

100
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: than the current four plus, and there for twenty three

101
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: dollars of treasuries that the traditional safe aset we subject

102
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: a massive price ras thirty forty percent losses. That's the

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: kind of worldware I think, not high inflation not hyper inflation,

104
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 3: but even arise in inflation from two to five six

105
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 3: as a massive damaging effect for the traditional long duration

106
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: of fixing on assets.

107
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: So this will be an actively managed fund in no reel.

108
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: How often do you anticipate making changes to their portfolio?

109
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Not very often.

110
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: This takes a long term view that actually dos forces respectflationary.

111
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: So, first of all, is.

112
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: A impartly a quantitive approach. We look at states of

113
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: the world in terms of growth and inflation and the

114
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 3: terms and location. There's an element of it that is

115
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: slightly distractionary, but we think about optimizing maybe once a month,

116
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 3: not more often than that.

117
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 6: This is a question for Raiser. When you think about

118
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 6: the stock market, it seems like Trump once stalks up,

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 6: he brags about the stock market a lot, and if

120
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 6: they go down, you think he would just bend over

121
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: backwards to make stocks go back up. In your opinion,

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: do you see that not happening this second term, or

123
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 6: do you think that this ETF is needed just in

124
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: case the stock market, you know, kind of goes its

125
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: own direction.

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 5: Well, there's a tremendous amount of risks offshore that we

127
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 5: need to look at. This levit Israeli for example, truce

128
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: agreement may just create more risks against a war against

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 5: the Iranians and the Israelis, which obviously has effects on

130
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 5: the oil supply that comes out of the Persian Gulf.

131
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: These kind of risks do significantly impact the stock market,

132
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: especially as that oil goes to China, and there's obviously

133
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: some other risks associated with the South China see and

134
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: so we don't see these events being positive for the

135
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: stock market. And we see this instrument, and this instrument

136
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: is science to do so doing well at times such

137
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: as this. So that's why we'd launched it at this time.

138
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: Train and Reesa, I have another question for you. I

139
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: thought an interesting detail was that this ETF was launched

140
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: through Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator program. It's not quite a

141
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: white label, but for those listening who maybe aren't familiar

142
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: with the concept, basically, Goldman Sachs helped you do the

143
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: back office stuff, as I believe it or understand it,

144
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: to get this ETF to the masses. Can you talk

145
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: us through why you went with that setup, for example,

146
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: rather than hiring out an ETF team.

147
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, in twenty eighteen, when we came off the back

148
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 5: end of working through the Alternative Treasury Instrument idea through

149
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: the Trump administration of the National Security think tank we

150
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: were working through. The Golden Sacks team took it upon

151
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: themselves to help us devise this program as a more

152
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 5: resilient US Treasury instrument. They built an index initially, we

153
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: built an annuity with them, and we just felt their

154
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: team was really strong. They're really focused on national security,

155
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: they're focused on resiliency, They've got a very strong relationship

156
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 5: with Washington, and they've got a fantastic team at the

157
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 5: ETF Accelerator, Lisa Mantle, Steve Sachs. These are really really

158
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 5: strong teams that we rely on to execute these trades,

159
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 5: and we think that there's more work to be done

160
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: underneath the illiquid portion of the CTF at a time

161
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: and a place when the scale allows it. So the

162
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 5: platform is very strong, but also the connectivity to the

163
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: other parts of Goldman and their natural inclination to be

164
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 5: more focused on national security and resiliency and economic security

165
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: matters made them a natural choice. We're very proud to

166
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 5: be working with.

167
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: Them and no reel. You know, when you think about

168
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 6: this ETF, the big market for ETF's advisors financial advisors

169
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: are like seventy percent of ETF users. What does this

170
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: replace for a typical sixty forty advisor? Is this going

171
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 6: into the bond or the equity or maybe some other

172
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 6: alternative portion they might have.

173
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: No, it's a substitute for the bond portion, because, as

174
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: I pointed out, the traditional defensive acet is long term

175
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: treasury doesn't work in a world in which inflation is

176
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: going to be gradually higher, bond is going to be higher,

177
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: prices are going to be lower for those bonds at

178
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 3: the time that there could be correction in equity markets.

179
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: The whole point of sixty four is based on a

180
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: negative correlation between bond prices and active prices. Risk on growth,

181
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: equity do well, bond prices fall, risk of recession. Bond

182
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: prices go higher, the yield goes down, equities do worse.

183
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: But that works only if inflation is low and stable. Instead,

184
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: in the world.

185
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: In which gradual inflation goes higher, you lose on the

186
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: equity portion of your portfolio, and you use also on

187
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: the bond portion of your portfolio.

188
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: So when you lose on.

189
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: The bond portion of your folio, go to have an

190
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: asset is actually truly defense see where interests are higher

191
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: because either there's.

192
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 4: Higher inflation or bigger deficies than that.

193
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: So it's an alternative to the bond part of your portfolio,

194
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: the defensive part of your portfolio.

195
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: We're talking about this ETF that you've launched, which is

196
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: a way to kind of guard against some of the

197
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: economic outlook problems that you foresee given the new government

198
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: that we're going to have starting next year. You mentioned

199
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: stackflation earlier and how you are worried about that scenario

200
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: based on what you've heard from the president like so

201
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: far when it comes to cabinet picks, initial terror threats.

202
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: Can you quantify the risk of stackflation over the next

203
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: four years. Are we're talking about twenty percent odds or

204
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about seventy percent odds.

205
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 3: Well, some of the economic policies of Trump may lead

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 3: to higher economic growth, to being pro business, keeping tax

207
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: or it's low economy, but unfortunately many of the other

208
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: policy is going to have an implication of higher inflation

209
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: and lower economic growth. The first thing he has already

210
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: announced is going to be tariff against Mexico, Canada, and China.

211
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: And that's only the beginning.

212
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 3: You said we might have up to twenty percent tarif

213
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: on all our trade partners, up to sixty percent against China.

214
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: He wants to have massive deportation of people. In the

215
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: last few years, the increasing migration has kept the lead

216
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: on wage growth, has increased the label supply, has increased

217
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: economic growth. So definitely mass deportation is t inflationary. He

218
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: wants not only to make all those tax cuts permanent,

219
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: but you made other promises and no taxes on tips,

220
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: on overtime and so security on income earn abroad and

221
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: so on and so on. This estimate that these things

222
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: we have to the deficit by eight thrillion dollars. Too

223
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: much demand inflationary. It might want to weekend a dollar

224
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,479
Speaker 3: that's going to be inflationary. You may interfere with independence

225
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: of the FED. Getting out of the Parish Accords is

226
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: going to make climate change much worse, increase a food price,

227
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: and things of that sort. So if you look at

228
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 3: this list of policies than others, all of them have

229
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 3: the impact that over time inflation will be higher, growth

230
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: is going to be lower. That's a standard analysis. What's

231
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: going to be implication of this policy.

232
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: So we have to.

233
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: Worry about the world in which overall over the next

234
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: few years, inflation is going to be gradually higher.

235
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: Economic growth could be lower, and therefore you have to.

236
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: Find an edge against the world in which body is

237
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 3: on the longside, maybe much higher than four percent, and

238
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: I go towards six, seven, even eight percent. In a

239
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: scenariohere inflation goes from two through three, four five. So

240
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 3: that's the kind of concerns I have and the kind

241
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: of tail risks inflation the basement of h currency potential,

242
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 3: dinualarization that's become unsustainable, climate change, geopolitical risks that fragment

243
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: the world and lead to less growth and more inflation.

244
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: That kind of things we start to have to worry

245
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: about and hedge against.

246
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 6: It's interesting, no reel a lot of things you just said,

247
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 6: or what a bitcoiner would say as to why you

248
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 6: should buy bitcoin. There's now the Bitcoin ETF there over

249
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 6: one hundred billion dollars, clearly a big hit. There's talk

250
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 6: that it could be a strategic reserve. You have gold

251
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 6: in the portfolio. Is there anything that could move you

252
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 6: to add bitcoin to your ETF to help accomplish some

253
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 6: of these goals?

254
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: You know, the bitcoin is highly volatile. You can go

255
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: out by ten percent one day and down ten to

256
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: fifteen percent another day. If you want to a stable

257
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: store of value, you will not put bitcoin into your portfolio.

258
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: The kind of acids we're actually thinking about are all

259
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: acids that do well.

260
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: When you have lower growth and you have higher inflation.

261
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: Whether it's tapes, short term treasure is, gold is a

262
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: hedge against inflation, the basement, dinularization, geopolitics, financial crisis, some

263
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 3: exposure to add commodities.

264
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: They're going to do well in a world.

265
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: Of inflation, of ami, chain and environmentally sustainable rids. So

266
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: it's a diversified portfolio of assets that historical have done

267
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: well in these types of tailor is. I'm skeptical for

268
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: a lot of reasons about cryptocurrency is a bitcoin because

269
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: they're not currencies. They're not the unit of account, they're

270
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: not the scale of means of payment, they're not the

271
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: stable store of value, and if you want well preservation

272
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: rather than high relativity, you want to stay away from

273
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: those types of acids.

274
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: Truly interesting to hear those comments because, I mean, as

275
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: are pointed out, some of the things you're saying really

276
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: resonate with a lot of the crypto community. But it

277
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: sounds like that volatility is just keeping you away here.

278
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 2: But I mean the argument can be made that you

279
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: take a look at gold and it's not exactly a

280
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: reliable hedge of inflation. I mean, it goes back and

281
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: forth over the past four years. I know we're close

282
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: to record highs right now, but when it comes to

283
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: a stable store of value, are you sure that you

284
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: found it?

285
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: In goald.

286
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: Well Gold as the benefit that has a variety of

287
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: hedging characteristics.

288
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: Usually when inflation is higher.

289
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 3: It does well when there is a risk of the

290
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 3: basement of your currency. Does well in a world in

291
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: which central banks are moving away.

292
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 4: From all as because of.

293
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: The dollarization, because we've weaponized the dollar for nacial security

294
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: and foreign policy reasons, good goes higher. Part of the

295
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: reason why gold has gone higher forty percent this year

296
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: is because central banks of.

297
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 4: Our arrival versifying away.

298
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: When there's a financial crisis and your money is not

299
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: even safe in a bank, gold does well.

300
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 4: So it's not a perfect act. Can go up and down.

301
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: Is one element of a portfolio where you're hedging against

302
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: a variety of tailor risks, and from that point of view,

303
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: is a better store of value than cryptocurrencies that are

304
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: based on not taking the vaporware.

305
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: All right, Oriel Rabini always with the sharp insights Norial

306
