The Search for Risk Premium with Apollo Strategist Alex Wright
In a new episode of The View from Apollo podcast, Apollo Chief Economist Torsten Slok speaks with Alex Wright, Global Wealth Strategist in Apollo’s Client and Product Solutions Group, about their views on where to find attractive risk premia at a time of elevated interest rates and lofty public market valuations.

The buoyant demand for corporate debt that propped up primary markets this year came alongside pockets of distress in the riskier parts of the market. We expect this divergence to persist through 2024.

While the Fed’s rate hikes have reigned in growth, especially among over-levered consumers, corporates, and banks, the easing of financial conditions since the “Fed pivot” in December continues to offset the effect of higher rates. For the rest of 2024, we expect economic growth to be higher than consensus and inflation to stay above the Fed’s target. We see no Fed cuts in 2024.
