Market Performance, Private Equity, the AI Revolution and More!

In this live episode of Tower Talk we start by discussing the current state of US and Canadian markets. Markets have been doing well, but those returns have been concentrated in a small number of large companies driven by the ongoing "AI Revolution". We compare the economic trends in both countries to see if we can expect markets to continue to climb this wall of worry. Then Mark outlines why there's a bubble in the Private Equity market and how it may burst in the next few years, you heard it here first! This was a live episode and we answered some listener questions regarding the AI revolution, the fallout from the private equity bubble and whether there is a sovereign debt crisis coming. #assetmanagement #marketupdate #airevolution #privateequity #sovereigndebt If you have questions, topic ideas or want to discuss your own investments please reach out, we'd love to hear from you.
