Today’s returning guest is Rick Rieder, BlackRock’s CIO of Global Fixed Income and the Head of the BlackRock’s Global Allocation team. Rick recently won the Morningstar 2023 Outstanding Portfolio Manager award. 

In today’s episode, Rick shares his take on the macroeconomic landscape as we kick off a new year. He touches on the set up for both stocks and bonds and why he’s focused on finding companies that have “rivers of fast cash flow.” We talk about several other topics including crypto, AI, Japan, the recent shift by the Fed, US debt levels, and much more.
