After a blue wave swept the 2026 midterms, PIMCO Head of Public Policy Libby Cantrill checks in on what drove the results and what comes next. She explains why the swing to the left was part protest vote and part gravity finally taking hold, as affordability concerns brought the realities of a two-speed economy to the ballot box. It was a historic victory for Democratics, but one that carries risk for the party if they overplay their hand. Tune in to hear how the new political landscape could shape fiscal policy, debt and spending levels, the AI buildout, and your clients’ portfolios. Show notes: Unpacking the Midterm Elections How Affordability May Have Swung the Results The Outlook for U.S. Policy Is the Fiscal Deficit Sustainable? Where Does AI and Data Centers Go from Here? Will New Governors Impact the AI Buildout?

AI has become one of the dominant forces shaping both equity and bond indices, creating concentrations and distortions that many investors may not fully appreciate. Host Greg Hall sits down with Charles Schwab Chief Investment Strategist Liz Ann Sonders to explore how the AI trade has permeated portfolios, often in ways that extend far beyond a handful of technology stocks. As index performance becomes increasingly driven by a small group of companies, investors face a critical challenge: understanding how much AI exposure they already own, where the hidden risks reside, and whether those are the risks they actually want to take. Together, they look beneath the surface of the major indices matters more than ever, how AI-related concentration is influencing both stocks and bonds, and where opportunities may exist for investors who can navigate around these market distortions. Rather than making broad, short-term bets, they examine the value of focusing on fundamentals, diversifying sources of return, and building portfolios that reflect intentional risk-taking rather than unintended exposure.

With rising rates dominating the headlines, advisors are understandably concerned. PIMCO Group CIO Dan Ivascyn says the story isn’t the volatility — it’s the high starting yields. At near 25-year highs, those yields can potentially deliver long-term returns in multiple scenarios, from an economic slowdown to the most optimistic AI adoption scenarios. Dan explains how to make the most of today’s starting yields, and why doing so takes patience and a disciplined process, grounded in high-quality fixed income, a globally diversified approach, and in using sensible duration to lock in high yields for years to come. For advisors, that adds up to many ways to win. Show notes: What’s behind today’s rate volatility Why starting yields change the bond equation Why today’s bond market is different from 2022 Putting bond and equity volatility in perspective Where fixed income fits in an era of AI and innovation Inside PIMCO’s approach to duration If you enjoyed the episode and want to learn more, check out related resources: [Cyclical Outlook] Growth Holds, Risk Widen [Podcast] What's Pushing Long-Term Bond Yields Higher?

What separates great advisors today? According to David Chubak, Head of Wealth Management and Field Management at Edward Jones, it's the same qualities that have always mattered: trust, relationships, and a deep understanding of clients. David joins Greg Hall to explain why, even in the age of AI and endless information, human connection remains at the heart of great advice. Drawing on his own experience working with advisors, lessons from behavioral finance, and the values instilled by his grandparents, David shares a framework for building strong client relationships as we enter the "Golden Age of Advice."

Even the most experienced investors can fall prey to one of the 150+ behavioral biases researchers have documented. But Dr. Anastasia Buyalskaya, a behavioral finance advisor to PIMCO, and Devin Ekeberg, PIMCO senior consultant in advisor education, believe the goal isn’t to rationalize them away; it’s to build frameworks that keep biased thinking from driving decision making. Together with Greg Hall, they discuss: The behavioral finance biases that hide in plain sight and how they can quietly shape investment decisions How advisors can act as financial therapists, keeping clients level-headed when emotions run high What AI really means for advice, both personal and financial, and why those AI compliments aren’t always so nice Show notes: [4:01] Intro to Behavioral Finance [13:10] Common Decision-Making Biases [20:20] Tools for Avoiding Behavioral Traps [24:45] Using Behavioral Finance in Advisor Conversations [34:01] How Sources of Information Influence Behavior [46:36] Is AI Good or Bad for Decision Making?

PIMCO CIO of Global Fixed Income Andrew Balls says that's the exact type of environment where global active management matters most.
