Thoughts from Katie Martin, Markets Columnist, Financial Times​

In this episode of School of Thought, Ontario Teachers’ President & CEO Jo Taylor sits down with Katie Martin, Financial Times Markets Columnist and co-host of the Unhedged podcast. Drawing on more than two decades covering global markets, Martin shares what she has learned from speaking with investors, business leaders, and policymakers through periods of change and uncertainty.​​The conversation explores how investors are responding to mixed signals across equity, bond, and energy markets. Martin discusses market resilience, opportunities emerging from the energy transition, and how AI is reshaping industries, portfolios, and investment decisions. They also examine the implications of inflation, geopolitics, and shifting global alliances.​​Throughout, she emphasizes the value of listening broadly but critically, the different quality of insight afforded by money managers with “skin in the game”, and what it means to strike a balance between being curious, critical but not too cynical.​Want to learn more about Ontario Teachers’?
