Investing in Volatile Markets
Manus Cranny, Todd Boehly, Joshua Harris, Mike Novogratz, Amanda Staveley, Cornelia Meyer, Mary Daly, Tim Gosher, Yusuf Kutsy
Mike Novogratz, Joshua Harris, Amanda Stavely, and Todd Boehly convened to analyze a market landscape defined by impending political volatility from the Mueller report, a slightly inverted yield curve, and aggressive private equity leverage levels. The panelists distinguished between transitory trade tensions and a persistent tech war, while highlighting divergent investment strategies ranging from high-yield litigation funding and UK infrastructure to specific allocations in Bitcoin as a hedge against sovereign debt crises. Ultimately, the discussion concluded that despite dislocated assets and recessionary pricing, central banks retain sufficient firepower to stabilize the economy through future downturns.

Energy Markets: The Year Ahead for Oil, Gas and Renewables
Gregory Zuckerman, Helima Croft, Joshua Harris, Bernard Looney, Michael Smith, Greg Zuckerman
Panelists projected that global oil demand will likely exceed current levels for the next two decades, supported by resilient growth in aviation, marine transport, and petrochemicals despite a forward price curve signaling long-term uncertainty. Strategic shifts are underway as private equity firms acquire distressed shale assets at break-evens between $30 and $60 while companies like BP and Apollo pivot toward midstream infrastructure and natural gas to serve as an essential bridge fuel for grid stability. Geopolitical leverage is simultaneously realigning with U.S. energy independence displacing traditional exporters, forcing major producers to secure captive markets in India and China while navigating significant investment risks in regions like Mexico.

Macroeconomic Outlook: The Search for Value
Joseph L. Hooley, Afsaneh Beschloss, Bjarne Graven Larsen, Joshua Harris, Hamilton "Tony" James
Leading institutional investors and asset managers convened to analyze a global recovery driven by divergent regional performances, from the US Federal Reserve's tightening cycle to stabilizing Emerging Markets despite persistent geopolitical tensions. The discussion highlighted a structural shift away from traditional public equities and bank lending toward illiquid private credit, infrastructure, and hard assets as investors seek to capture valuations undistorted by central bank liquidity. Strategic recommendations emphasized adopting active, risk-based approaches for pension funds while addressing regulatory barriers to unlock significant capital in under-capitalized physical assets and high-yield emerging market sectors.

The Global Economy: Hoping for Momentum amid Tepid Times
Skip Reimer, Jim McCoggan, Terry Duffy, Alex Friedman, Joshua Harris, Alan Howard, Min Zhu
The 17th annual Milken Institute Global Conference convened 650 speakers, including Jim McCoggan, Joshua Harris, and IMF Deputy Managing Director Min Zhu, to analyze diverging global monetary policies and tepid economic growth. Panelists debated U.S. GDP forecasts of 2.7% to 3% against risks from elevated valuations and potential recession, while highlighting Europe's banking deleveraging and emerging market vulnerabilities driven by China's credit boom. The discussion concluded with warnings that geopolitical tail events from the Russia-Ukraine crisis and regulatory fragmentation could disrupt market stability despite current low volatility.
