  • Economic Forecast

    Sarah House
    Senior Economist & Director, Wells Fargo Securities

    After a historic collapse in activity, the economy’s recovery from the coronavirus shock is well underway. However, the second half of the recovery will be more arduous and depend heavily on the next steps from fiscal and monetary policymakers, as well as the virus itself. Wells Fargo Senior Economist Sarah House will discuss the outlook for the economy amid a rapid shift in the composition of jobs, spending and investment. Included will be a discussion of future policy support, as well as how the Austin economy is positioned to grow in the year ahead.

  • Asset Investing & Asset Allocation

    Erin Browne
    Managing Director and Portfolio Manager, PIMCO

    While the current environment can be unsettling for investors, one silver lining is that volatility and uncertainty may lead to attractive investment opportunities. Erin Browne, PIMCO managing director and portfolio manager, will discuss potential opportunities across asset classes, how active management can help determine the winners and losers created by the recovery, and why portfolios that are thoughtfully constructed, well-diversified, and sufficiently nimble will likely be in the best position to navigate the road ahead.
