TIFF Webinar – Wind of Change: A Favorable Environment for Hedge Funds

On October 18, 2023, TIFF hosted a one-hour webinar centered on the white paper titled, “Wind of Change: A Favorable Environment for Hedge Funds” hosted by Zhe Shen, CFA, and Fiona Chow, CFA.

2022 saw one of biggest shifts in recent market history. As we emerged from our COVID bunkers to a record rain of stimulus – both fiscal and monetary which caused inflation to rear its ugly head. In response, the FED was initially slow to react but later played catch up in a big way by unleashing one of the most aggressive series of rate hikes in history. This has created a slew of uncertainty in the form of a potential recession, credit contraction, and upheaval of business models designed for a zero-rate environment. Hedge funds, by their adaptive nature have an edge in navigating these uncertain markets.
