James Aitken of Aitken Advisors is one of the world’s most respected investment minds. He joins Monetary Matters to share his view that tariffs - and in particular announced reciprocal tariffs - from the Trump administration are set to slow economic growth in the U.S. from 5% to around 3%, and that accordingly the high-growth environment wherein credit and equities performed extremely well is likely set to give way to a lower-growth environment which will be more bumpy for credit and stocks. Aitken evaluates the current risk-reward in European and Chinese equities, and also shares his analysis of the situation in private credit. Recorded March 14, 2025.
