Biography
Edward Dowd has worked on Wall Street most of his career spanning both the credit markets and equity markets. He cut his teeth early on at HSBC as an institutional fixed income salesperson for 5 years in the 90’s, gaining an understanding of the credit markets, foreign exchange markets, repo markets and fixed income derivatives market. Some of the other firms he’s worked for include Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, Independence Investments and most notably at BlackRock as a portfolio manager, where he managed a $14 billion Growth Equity Portfolio for 10 years. It should be noted that at BlackRock, that fund was grown to 14 billion from only 2 billion when he began there, truly putting the “Growth” in the Growth Equity Portfolio.
Ed Dowd is the author of the new book, “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022.” (Release Date: Dec. 13th, 2022, Skyhorse Publishing). He is also currently a Founding Partner at Phinance Technologies, a global macro alternative investment firm. One of the objectives at Phinance Technologies is “The Humanity Project”, where they collect and analyse the best available data for their 5 main research projects – on excess mortality in multiple countries, Disability & Absences in the USA only, as well as the V-Damage project and Demographics project. Ed and his partners at Phinance Technologies undertake research with an open mind but, they also strictly adhere to the principles of scientific rigor, which allows them to be unhindered by political and economic pressure, and are as such unbiased in their conclusions.
Ed is a frequent guest on multiple podcasts and mainstream media outlets. He has appeared on Tucker Carlson Today, Steve Bannon’s War Room, Valuetainment’s PBD podcast, Man in America with Seth Holehouse, American Thought Leaders on Epoch TV, CHD TV, Mel K, Kim Iverson, Alex Jones, Maria Zee, Charlie Kirk, and many more, too numerous to mention. Ed was also invited to give testimony in Washington, DC at Senator Ron Johnson’s covid roundtable, where he delivered some of his most compelling findings to date, alongside some of the most renowned expert doctors, business people, and politicians in the country.
When Ed isn’t traveling the country giving keynote presentations, or doing research or being interviewed, he can be found in his home state of Hawaii, where he enjoys the sun, sand and the surf.
Speech Topics
WEALTH & WELLNESS
In this highly customizable talk, Ed discusses his personal journey and career in Wall Street, the meaning of money for most of us, and what it means to stay human in these trying times. He also takes us through his psycho-spiritual journey, from overcoming addiction (and a weight problem) to becoming a role model for good health for people of all ages.
This talk is important now more than ever, because we are entering the uncharted waters of fiscal and monetary insanity, and navigating these waters will be as much a spiritual fight as it will economic.
The future shocks will be many; but Ed has the life and career experience to be able to help audiences cope with a future that will look nothing like the past. Yes, he has investment ideas – though he doesn’t give investment “advice” – are sound.
But it’s his advice on how to deal with the pace of the changes to come – both economic and personal, that make this talk a must hear.
Stock, Bonds, Commodities, Inflation, Central Banks, The Fed, The Markets… what is really going on?
In this compelling keynote presentation, Ed explains where he thinks the markets may be headed, and why they are headed there – because he breaks down the macro-trends that are affecting stocks, bonds and commodity prices – and explains it in such a way that is accessible to everyone.
In this highly customizable talk, former BlackRock fund manager Edward Dowd explains his investment thesis for the unprecedented times we are in, drawing on his insiders knowledge of the capital markets and analysis of financial data; he explains how to prepare economically for what might be coming – whether it be a dollar crash, a real estate market crash, runaway inflation or… a slow and very possible demise of the banks or insurance companies.
Some of the interesting takeaways from Ed’s talk are almost completely counter-intuitive; after all, Ed had a successful career on Wall Street by knowing how to pick stocks others didn’t. What does Ed see that others don’t, or won’t?
Ed also discusses the U.S. dollar, and asks is it being devalued, as the inflation pundits all resoundingly say it is? Maybe – but the dollar is still strong against other currencies. What explains this apparent contradiction? Could it be a troika of policy errors from Energy Policy to the Ukraine and Central Bank policy playing havoc with inflation and the dollar?
Now then, in this keynote – Ed answers that one very basic question that no one can seem to figure out: How can the dollar be losing purchasing power at home but rising against other currencies? (If this changes – Ed will explain why…).
Ed’s cure for America’s economic woes may well be something you’ve never heard before, and offers up a pretty gutsy investment thesis in order to survive the potential train wreck heading our way…
