GVA Hosts David Kotok
Published On: April 22, 2025Categories: GVA Asset Management


Recently Great Valley Advisor Group hosted David Kotok to present and discuss themes from his most recent book The Fed and the Flu: Parsing Pandemic Economic Shocks.
A few takeaways:
- The Fed and the Flu examines the Fed’s journey, insights from history, lessons from the world’s experience with COVID, and the pandemic’s economic impacts captured in charts.
- Every pandemic delivers an initial shock, but it also casts a longer shadow over the medium term.
- In David’s opinion, the most important thing is that every pandemic is a learning opportunity that can be leveraged to better inform responses to future pandemics.
The GVA Asset Management team invited local advisors participating in the GVAAM program to attend in person – each in-person attendee received a signed copy of David’s book. After the presentation David took time to connect with GVA Advisors and answer questions on a wide range of topics.
