As confirmed cases of COVID-19 escalate throughout the world, governments are pressured to balance their priorities of protecting the health of their citizens and the health of the economy and the markets. This UnHerd Insight  briefing will examine short-term market and economic impact as well as the longer term geopolitical implications of the outbreak. In addition, we will consider second order effects including the oil price war. Chaired by William Shawcross and Prof. Matthew Goodwin, and  our APAC colleagues at Metis Intelligence the presentation by David Murrin and subsequent discussion will provide a forum to examine current conditions in light of their historical context.

David Murrin has been described as a polymath and his career of more than three decades in major investment banks and hedge funds has been focussed on finding and understanding collective human behavioural patterns including deep-seated ‘patterns’ in history and the using them to predict the future for geopolitics and markets in today’s turbulent times. He has a remarkable track record. David’s advisory work today is based on his direct investment experience combined with a framework that can be used to explain and qualify decisions within an investment team, aid risk assessment, and reduce biases in collective investment decisions.
