The Past, Present, and Future of Fed Independence
Season 11 Episode 04

However, some candidates have expressed interest in giving other branches of government a say in the Fed’s decision-making process, meaning that this election could have a major impact on how monetary policy is conducted. To explore the implications of any changes to the Federal Reserve’s independence, Gabriela Santos is excited to be back with Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist here at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.
Alternative Realities: Navigating Alternatives as an Individual Investor
Season 01 Episode 04

To discuss all of these themes. Dr. David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist is joined by Kristin Kallergis, the Global Head of Alternatives for the J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
