    The First Cut Is The Deepest featuring Mark Yusko and Cory Lester of Morgan Creek Capital Management [July 25, 2024 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” Webinar Series]

    In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the July 25, 2024 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar featuring Mark Yusko and Cory Lester of Morgan Creek Capital Management. Previously, Mark and Cory discussed why they believe interest rates are likely to settle into a more normalized range over the coming years, compared to the near zero interest rate period following the Great Financial Crisis, and why they believe this is likely to be a strong tailwind for long/short equity strategies going forward. As for the direction of broader equity markets, investors appear to be anxiously awaiting interest rate cuts to push stocks even higher, however, history suggests this optimism could be misplaced and that investors should be careful what they wish for. Listen in to find out why and we hope you enjoy the episode.  Follow us on Twitter @HedgeD_Podcast   Visit us on the web at https://www.morgancreekcap.com/opportunistic-equity/  Join the HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar series by emailing HedgeD@morgancreekcap.com  Subscribe to our YouTube channel by visiting https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8RssLKui3GNrxlOtYk6jRQ

    Why We Believe Biopharma Is Set For A Comeback [November 30, 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” Webinar Series]

    In this episode of HedgeD, we replay the November 30th, 2023 HedgeD, With A Capital “D” webinar where Mark Yusko and Cory Lester talked about why they are so constructive on the outlook for Biopharma stocks.
