E109 - A Thanksgiving Feast of Insights: Ozempic’s Impact on Markets & Pension Liabilities
Description
For our Thanksgiving week episode, G3 is joined by Jordi Visser, President and CIO at Weiss.
Of course, food is very much top-of-mind during this holiday. And like every day of the year, food is top-of-mind for Jordi. As such, we thought it would be fun to do a follow-up episode on anti-obesity drugs like Ozempic.
Topics covered on this episode include the impact of Agonists on various economic sectors, how pension liabilities could be impacted by these drugs and last but certainly not least, why Jordi serves lobster over turkey at his Thanksgiving.
