Regime Shift Ahead: Alex Shahidi on Inflation Risk, True Diversification, and Building Resilient Portfolios
Description
In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Alex Shahidi, Co-Chief Investment Officer at Evoke Advisors, to unpack the structural forces reshaping markets — from persistent inflation to weakening growth, rising deficits, and the return of macro volatility.
From the limitations of the traditional 60-40 portfolio to the misunderstood mechanics behind risk parity, Shahidi explains how investors can build portfolios that survive multiple economic regimes without relying on forecasts or market timing.
In this episode:
– Why inflation volatility poses the biggest risk to portfolios today
– How the past decade created dangerous concentration in equities
– Why most investors misunderstand what true diversification means
– How risk parity protects against extreme macro outcomes
– How RPAR expresses a balanced, multi-regime investment framework
