Member News and Reading Inspiration

Dear members,

Reserve your seat at Latticework 2022, our member event of the year, to be held at the Yale Club of New York City on December 13. This year’s summit will focus on intelligent investing in the context of inflationary pressures.

I am delighted to announce an exciting new addition to the Latticework agenda: Chris Goulakos, Managing Partner of Balius Partners, will host a fireside chat with Howard Marks, Co-Chairman of Oaktree Capital Management. The conversation is sure to be illuminating, with plenty of time allocated to audience questions.

Chris and Howard join a terrific speaker lineup, which includes Chris Bloomstran, President and Chief Investment Officer of Semper Augustus Investments Group, and Christopher Tsai, President and Chief Investment Officer of Tsai Capital Corporation. Additional speakers to be announced in the near future.

Reserve your seat today (early-bird discount expires soon).

Warmly,

John

Quote We Are Contemplating This Week

"Even if you somehow manage to get an economic forecast correct, that’s only half the battle. You still need to anticipate how that economic activity will translate into a market outcome. This requires an entirely different forecast, also involving innumerable variables, many of which pertain to psychology and thus are practically unknowable." —Howard Marks
