And, check out our deep dive on private equity and inflation. Without hard evidence to reference on best practices during persistent inflation, the industry must use proxy examples over the past decade that can help shape the way forward, according to Jason Thomas, managing director and head of global research at Carlyle Group.
“The scenarios I look back to are not 1965 to 1979… we can look back to the way that inflation risk became a phenomenon in the last 10 years,” Thomas says. “Go back to the Taper Tantrum in 2013, go before that, in 2010 and 2011, the amount of people suggesting Fed policy was too accommodative and we were risking a massive surge in inflation. This was cause for concern for many investors.”
