Summary
In this episode of The Bridge by iCapital, John Waldron, President & COO of Goldman Sachs, joins Soali Basak to unpack why the economy is stronger than it looks, where AI fits into the growth picture, and why the next major opportunity in private markets may be closer than investors think. From persistent inflation and elevated rates to the structural shift toward private credit and the evolution of capital markets, Waldron offers a grounded, cautiously constructive view of where we are, and what it will take for AI to deliver the growth the market is pricing in.
