We have gone past the ‘new normal’. Low inflation was the norm for 20 years, investors must now confront a world with high and variable inflation. Financial markets are facing potential further disruption from crypto assets and decentralized finance. We have entered the new abnormal.
“On behalf of my colleagues at AQR and the LBS AQR Asset Management Institute, I would like to thank you for joining us for the 2022 Insight Summit. Our program this year focused on the disrupters and the disruptions to the financial markets: the impact of Central Bank policies, the emergence of cryptocurrency and the outlook and implications of the current macro environment. We were excited to be able to come together, once again, in person. And, as always, we enjoyed the dynamic exchange of ideas among leading practitioners and academics that has become the hallmark of the AQR Asset Management Institute. We appreciate you being a part of the 2022 Insight Summit and hope that you enjoyed what was an informative and engaging event.”
