“On inflation and uncertainty” — Episode 2 of Onward, a Fundrise podcast

Our latest episode explores how we use systematic scenario planning to prepare for a variety of potential economic environments, both expected and truly unpredictable.

Apr 1, 2022

On this episode, Ben Miller, Fundrise CEO and co-founder, is joined by Cardiff Garcia, host of the economics-focused podcast The New Bazaar and former long-time co-host and co-creator of NPR's The Indicator podcast.

Ben and Cardiff discuss a particularly timely topic: how Fundrise uses systematic scenario planning to make decisions in the face of uncertainty — particularly in the current global economic environment.

Between high inflation, COVID, and the war in Ukraine, a number of historic forces are exerting extreme pressure on our world and economy. Ben explains how we weigh the likelihood of a variety of outcomes — both optimistic and pessimistic — in making our investment decisions… and how Fundrise thinks about preparing for the truly unpredictable.
