NEW YORK, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new era of higher interest rates, elevated inflation, plus rising geopolitical tensions is upending the winning investment strategies of the last decade. With the advice of top money managers and financial advisors Consuelo Mack WealthTrack will help individuals meet their long-term goals of financial security. Season 19 premieres nationwide on public television beginning Friday, June 30 (check local listings). 

The new season opens with a rare interview with legendary value investor, Jeremy Grantham, who has accurately predicted major bull and bear market turning points. This year he discusses some slow developing trends he identified years ago that are now impacting the economy and markets including climate change and global shortages in labor and natural resources.

Future guests include a rare conversation with portfolio manager Gerry O'Reilly on what it takes to run the world's largest mutual fund, Vanguard's Total Stock Market Fund and why this "passlve" index fund requires very active management. And personal finance guru, Christine Benz will join us to discuss "all weather" investment strategies to help retirees survive turbulent markets.

"The financial assumptions of the last decade or more have been dramatically altered by higher inflation, elevated interest rates and the disruptions caused by deglobalization" says Mack. "Our roster of best-in-class guests will guide us through the changes and help our audience meet their long-term financial goals."
