Jeremy Grantham joins 20+ of Australia's top investors at Livewire Live

I’m excited to announce that legendary investor and philanthropist Jeremy Grantham, Co-Founder of GMO, will be our international guest speaker for Livewire Live 2026.

​Grantham has been active in finance and investing for more than half a century, bringing extensive knowledge and experience to what is set to be an unmissable discussion.

​Grantham is known for his strident views on asset bubbles, underpinned by his philosophy that, over time, all asset classes and markets will revert to mean historical levels after highs and lows.

​Those perspectives will undoubtedly make for a compelling discussion at a time when market leadership is highly concentrated, and unprecedented capital is being invested in the pursuit of artificial intelligence supremacy.

​Since stepping back from his day-to-day leadership role at GMO in 2009, Grantham has focused on long-term strategy and philanthropy.

​I’m looking forward to hearing what Jeremy has to say at Livewire Live alongside the line-up of speakers and topics we’ve put together for our annual event.

Early bird pricing ends this Friday at 5pm!
