How Bad Could Stagflation Be for This Market?

The presentation will examine the current state of economic growth and inflation to see if long-feared stagflation is making a return. More importantly, however, we will analyze what that could mean for markets, including which sectors, factors and strategies would be expected to outperform and underperform.
