Jason Brady: Investment opportunities during a global emergency

The global macroeconomic environment is different from a generation ago.

This session considers both the scope of the challenge for investors and the potential opportunities that exist to navigate this temporary health problem.

Speaker: Jason Brady, chief executive officer, Thornburg Investment Management
