Elizabeth Burton
The Strategist
The long view, patient, analytical, playing several moves ahead.
Elizabeth Burton reads as The Strategist because she interrogates the foundations others build on, most notably challenging the equity-bond correlation that underpins conventional portfolio construction. Drawing on her vantage as a Goldman Sachs Asset Management strategist and former pension CIO, she identifies constrained, under-trafficked opportunities and charts paths through them with analytical precision. Her candid admission that certainty is unavailable is no hedge. It is a navigational principle, calibrated humility deployed as a sharper instrument.
“I have always struggled with why there seems to be some belief that equities and bonds will be negatively correlated throughout time. It's simply not the case.”
“I always try to find a way to not miss out on those investments. Often those investments are some of the better investments because a lot of people have these constraints — there's not as much capital flying in there.”
“No one knows all the right answers all the time. They all act like they do, but they don't. And if you get it wrong, they've gotten it wrong too.”
