    Disequilibrium in Global Debt

    Felix Salmon, Peter Budko, Damian Lillicrab, Nouriel Roubini, Gene Sperling, Andrew Whittaker

    Leading economists and strategists including Nouriel Roubini, Peter Budko, and Gene Sperling analyzed the unsustainable trajectory of global debt, debating whether net asset offsets and low servicing costs justify current high leverage ratios. The panel highlighted a critical disconnect where massive debt accumulation has fueled asset bubbles and corporate buybacks rather than productivity, leaving markets vulnerable to earnings shocks due to "covenant light" lending and constrained fiscal safety nets. Concluding that central banks have become overstretched fiscal substitutes, the experts warned that without a political compact linking stimulus to structural reform, the global economy faces a prolonged cycle of financial repression and inequality.

    Digitizing Wall Street: How Technology Is Changing the Future of Finance

    Felix Salmon, David Rockefeller Jr., Mike Weil, Rich Daly, Adina Friedman, David Kaplan, Matthew Walkermann, Nicole Forsgren, David Levinson, Matt Brittin, Eddy Moretti, Adina Kanwisher, Jonathan Zittrain, Adina Srivastavadi, Matthew Accarrino

    Representatives from major financial firms including NASDAQ, Broadridge, and Two Sigma convened to analyze how artificial intelligence and blockchain are reshaping capital markets, regulation, and the dynamics between institutional and retail investors. The panel concluded that while technology drives efficiency, reduces settlement cycles, and navigates regulatory complexity, human judgment remains essential for risk management, ethical investing, and defining client goals. Ultimately, the discussion projected a future where algorithmic tools and AI augment rather than replace financial advisors, particularly as the industry shifts toward personalized financial planning and new asset classes like Bitcoin ETFs.
