​Global EQD: Salient’s Hunt Calls For Economic Thinking Shift

Investors are using the wrong theory to tackle markets upended by central bank policies, according to Ben Hunt, chief risk officer at Salient Partners. Delivering the Keynote Address at Thursday’s Global EQD Conference at the Aria Las Vegas, Hunt told attendees a shift in the economic conversation was needed to address market instability. “Today, we’re using the wrong theory in terms of our broad policy decisions,” he said. “I think we’re using the wrong theory in terms of the way we -investors- think about what’s going on in the world.”
