Man Group’s Ed Cole on AI, Inflation and the Changing Global Order

Despite agreeing that AI is likely as transformative as its proponents argue, Ed Cole believes it’s too early to understand whether there’s a bubble. Meanwhile, the growing backlash against globalization and an effort to reshore means traditional 60/40 portfolios are at risk of becoming outdated. A reallocation of assets across gold, small caps and liquid alternatives could be essential to keep up with a changing macro environment. Cole is the head of multi-strategy equities at Man Group, the world’s largest publicly-traded hedge fund. (Source: Bloomberg)
