    T. Rowe Price’s White on Four-Pillar Investing

    Earnings in 3Q beat expectations, but momentum is fading, suggesting a high earnings bar for 2026 and potentially more market volatility. In this episode of the Inside Active podcast, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, and co-host Michael Casper, BI’s senior US equity strategist, speak with Justin White, portfolio manager of the T. Rowe Price All-Cap Opportunities Fund (PRWAX). They discuss White’s four-pillar investment process and how pattern recognition helps him identify durable growth or unrealistic expectations. They also explore what part of the market is overestimating long-term monopoly profits, where high valuations have become unattractive due to poor risk-reward and which areas could offer long-term outperformance through 2030.

    VanEck’s Rodilosso & Sokol on Mitigating CLO Risk

    A potential shift in US monetary policy toward fiscal dominance — where government financing influences rates more than inflation control — could change the risk-return trade-off for CLO investors. In this episode of Inside Active, host David Cohne, mutual fund and active management analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence, along with co-host Reto Bachmann, BI’s chief structured finance strategist, spoke with Bill Sokol, director of product management at VanEck and Fran Rodilosso, head of fixed income ETF portfolio management and a portfolio manager on the VanEck CLO ETF (CLOI) and VanEck CLO AA-BB CLO ETF (CLOB), about why active management is essential when it comes to manager selection and loan-level analysis and how effective ETF management mitigates liquidity risk through diversified exposure across tranches. They also discussed why relative value remains attractive as CLO tranches yield more than corporates and other asset-backed securities. This podcast was recorded on Nov. 4.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
