Let's Talk ETFs

"Runaway inflation or continued deflation?" "Rising rates or rates dropping below the zero bound?" These are just some of the questions investors are starting to ponder as the economy re-opens. The current interest rate environment is particularly complex because there are so many competing forces and known unknowns on the horizon. Quadratic Capital's Nancy Davis rejoins the podcast to talk investors through the current uncertainty and explain how her firm's increasingly popular Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF (IVOL) simultaneously protects against inflation and interest rate volatility.
