The Algebris Podcast

Davide Serra (Founder and CEO, Algebris Investments) on what is happening in the markets: from the slowdown of Asia's "growth engine" - especially China - and the lower and lower European inflation data prints, to growth figures of the United States. Amidst geopolitical events, adopting a safe approach by extending duration could be a good strategy for investors.

In China, the economy is slowing down. This has global repercussions and the engine of the European economy, Germany, has stalled. In the US, on the other hand, we are seeing the first results of the Inflation Reduction Act: the economy is holding up, despite the remaining high inflation.

The past week has seen increasing concern about the health of the banking sector. Following the rescue of Credit Suisse, market participants' attention has shifted to the European banks more widely. Please take a few minutes to listen to our CEO, Davide Serra, on why the European banking sector remains robust.

On March 10th 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (‘SVB’) was taken over by the FDIC, following a wave of deposit outflows. Markets looked at the event as a potentially systemic risk for the US and global banking sector. This has left investors with compelling questions: are there implications in the medium and long term? Is there a risk of contagion? ​​​​​​​ Listen to Davide Serra, Founder and CEO of Algeb...

Within Asia, the resilience of Europe was underestimated, and capital is now being redeployed in European assets, which is a positive development for Europe. Also, capital integration in Asian countries is accelerating, with Singapore being the winner. Inflation is decreasing fast and so we believe terminal rates are being priced correctly by the markets, although the reopening of Chinese economy...
