• How and when does it occur during an economic cycle?
• What is the potential impact of a credit contraction on the economy and the financial markets?

In The Big Interview, he says the firm is diversifying and nimble, with real assets, TIPs and other fixed-income securities providing ballast to a portfolio that includes a lot of international exposure to balance out domestic equities.
