Show Notes

Uncertainty is at exceptional levels. The halt in activity today is unlike slowdowns we’ve seen before, and it’s affecting companies in a variety of ways. Our co-CIO John Goetz and portfolio manager Allison Fisch discuss our efforts to understand what bad looks like, company by company, and the research necessary to evaluate if companies can survive a prolonged downturn.
