Do you have your own economist?
Do you have your own economist? GPFA Members had the opportunity to meet with the OPERS in-house Economist, Nick Kotsonis, CFA and we came away with a deeper understanding and perspective on what is driving the U.S. economy today and what the research supports for future predictions. Having access to this global network of sophisticated asset owner buy-side institutions, allows our GPFA members to broaden their views on the market and learn from one another. Thank you to Jerry May, from OPERS for arranging this educational opportunity and thank you to Nick Kotsonis, CFA for sharing your personal views and research on the economy.
