The Julia La Roche Show | Are We Headed For A Lost Decade? | Christopher Zook @TheJuliaLaRocheShow | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Christopher Zook, founder and Chief Investment Officer of CAZ Investments (cazinvestments.com/), which oversees just under $6 billion in assets under management, joins Julia La Roche on episode 104 for a wide-ranging macroeconomic discussion.
In this episode, Zook shares that he still sees stagflation ahead, historically the worst environment for stocks and bonds. In this environment, though, Zook is looking for opportunities in dislocated assets, particularly in energy and real estate.
Zook has over 30 years of experience investing in traditional and alternative asset classes. He was recently honored with the Texas Alternative Investments Association’s (TAIA) Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his contribution and sustained support of the industry in Texas. He regularly contributes to major media outlets, including CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg. Before starting CAZ Investments in 2001, Zook served in senior leadership positions with Oppenheimer, Prudential Securities, Lehman Brothers, and Paine Webber.
