Silver Linings In a Volatile Economy!

Join us September 16th for Peering Through Cloudy Markets: Silver Linings in a Volatile Economy with Anthony Orlando, Associate Professor of Finance, Real Estate, & Law at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

What a year it's been! Tariffs are rising, but interest rates are falling. Occupancy rates are stabilizing, but rents and prices are struggling. Government officials are encouraging development one minute but changing their minds the next. Which trends are temporary, and which are here to stay? Which sectors are rebounding, which costs are spiraling out of control, and which investors are positioned to take advantage of it all? In this talk, Professor Orlando will unravel a very messy economic year and look for hints of what's to come in 2026 and beyond.
