Technology investor Jonathan Curtis is bullish, though he's worried about AI stocks in late 2023. "But we're in an experimentation phase for AI — we're not in the revenue phase for AI."

And while the portfolio management director thinks investors should be wary of AI stocks' volatility in the near term, he made clear that AI is absolutely worth investing in for the long term.

She says the space generally does well when inflation is high, and that private real estate is an effective portfolio diversifier not strongly correlated to stocks, bonds, or public real estate companies. Bui is especially positive on muti-family real estate because there is a huge supply shortage that won't be resolved any time soon. She's also bullish on industrial real estate, where rents are surging because of high demand from e-commerce companies and onshoring.
