Bessent, founder and CEO of the global macro investment firm Key Square Capital Management, previously served as chief investment officer at George Soros's Soros Fund Management from 2011 to 2015. A top fundraiser for Trump's campaign, Bessent has been advising Trump on economic policy and is expected to help execute the president-elect's promised tax cuts. He brings deep knowledge of bond and currency markets and has rejected fears of 'Trump-flation'.
