Henry McVey, partner and head of global macro and asset allocation at KKR, appeared on Bloomberg Talks on September 18, 2026, to discuss shifts in investment strategy. He stated that the traditional model of diversifying portfolios through stocks and bonds is breaking down under pressures from geopolitical tensions and growing fiscal deficits. McVey said that stocks and bonds are now positively correlated, noting that during recent market events both sold off together, whereas in prior decades bonds typically rallied when stocks fell. He attributed this change to a "regime change" following COVID-era fiscal stimulus, characterized by larger deficits and increased government spending. McVey suggested that investors should consider shifting toward private markets, noting that private equity is predicated on an illiquidity premium over a five-to-ten-year horizon. He argued that individuals with long-term retirement savings could benefit from allocating a small portion of their portfolio to private assets, while cautioning against irresponsible or rapid adoption. He emphasized the importance of education, linear deployment, and avoiding concentration and excessive leverage, drawing parallels between risks in public and private markets.
