The market turbulence of 2022 stands in sharp contrast to the utopian mix of easy money, low volatility and high returns seen in 2021.  It is now widely acknowledged that inflation is perhaps the most disruptive theme contributing to economic uncertainty. 
 
High inflation can act as a tax and slow growth by itself.  It also increases the risk of a policy misstep where overly aggressive tightening by the Fed may trigger a recession. 
 
In this webinar, we will focus on how family businesses can manage through inflation:
  • Evolution and impact of inflation so far  
    How did we get here to persistently high inflation and what impact is it having on consumer spending, company profits and business valuations? 
  • Inflation and economic outlook  
    Will high inflation inevitably spell the demise of this economic cycle and trigger a recession? What are the ways that business can counter inflation?
  • Inflation and the family business  
    How should businesses think about managing in an inflationary environment?
