On April 14, Israel Bonds held an exclusive briefing with Brian Nick, investment strategist and market analyst, on the topic: Navigating Financial Markets through the Coronavirus Pandemic, in its fifth installment of its global event series. As chief investment strategist of Nuveen, a premier global investment manager acquired by TIAA in 2014, Brian shared his expertise on market trends and indicators that individuals should pay attention to as they position their portfolio in preparation for the uncertain road ahead.



 A member of Nuveen’s Global Investment Committee, Brian has over fifteen years of experience analyzing economic and market data and developing investment strategies for client portfolios, and has appeared on Reuters, CNBC and other well-known media outlets numerous times. Bonds leadership valued the opportunity to hear Brian’s global outlook on the markets in the months to come, and gained optimism from his assessment that in comparison to 2008, the U.S. is experiencing more of an “economic lockdown” rather than a full-on financial crisis.
 
He went on further, explaining this optimism is held to the caveat of widespread treatment and control of the spread of COVID-19, yet remained confident as early signs of re-entering a bull market appeared encouraging.
