Paul Tudor Jones on ESG

October 23, 2022

“There’s something that feels right about trying to figure out how everything works and is interrelated, along with identifying new trends and what will happen next in the markets. And yet, in what is perhaps the cruel irony, it is arguably better to know almost nothing — if the goal is to build wealth.”

– Eric Balchunas

Despite record rate raises, inflation remains stubbornly high. As it continues to bleed the value of your cash and investments, it might be time to look for a potential solution.

I’m looking at real assets. Why real assets? For inflation protection, historical performance, and portfolio diversification. According to new research from Goldman Sachs, portfolios with real assets have actually outperformed the 60/40 portfolio since WWII.1

Right now, one real asset in my portfolio that’s in the green is blue-chip art.

It’s simple to invest in art with Masterworks. With this platform, me and their 550,000+ other members can access investments in multi-million dollar art (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy), for just a fraction of the price of the entire work.

Idea Farm readers can skip the waitlist.

The real problem is that every pension fund in the world has implemented some sort of Wall Street securitization/leverage concoction, intentionally designed to make the managers look good in their quarterly reviews, intentionally designed to use short-term leverage against long-term obligations, intentionally designed to use the math of the past thirty years to obfuscate the risks of a regime change not found in the past thirty years.
