Moderated by Dan Primack, five prominent CIOs and asset managers discussed navigating recent market volatility driven by tariff uncertainty while debating whether US large-cap stocks and the AI sector are in a bubble. The panelists outlined divergent strategies, ranging from Atlantic Investment's defensive positioning to Pershing Square's creation of a permanent capital vehicle, while emphasizing that human judgment remains superior to AI for identifying structural market inflection points. Despite consensus on near-term dislocation risks, the group highlighted the enduring advantages of concentrated active management and the increasing importance of aligning fiduciary returns with specific mission goals.
