You Think You're Diversified. AI Disagrees. | Prof G Markets
Apollo chief economist Torsten Slok joins Scott Galloway to discuss inflation risks, AI's effect on jobs, and why standard portfolio diversification has stopped working.
The gist
-
The Magnificent 7 dominate stocks, bonds, and venture funds alike, so a classic 60/40 portfolio is far less diversified than most investors assume.
-
To get genuine diversification, Slok suggests looking explicitly at non-AI assets such as gold, Brazilian stocks, and European credit.
-
The U.S. is an energy exporter now, so oil price spikes from Middle East instability hurt Europe and Asia much harder than the U.S.
-
Slok says mass AI unemployment is unlikely because most jobs involve many tasks and governments would step in if joblessness rose sharply.
