Episode 131: Investment Risk & Economic Seasons

'Successful investing is about managing risk, not avoiding it'

The world is going through a huge phase of adjustment right now. It might feel like a dangerous time and you might feel unsafe being exposed to any perceived or real 'risk'.

Rising Prices (Inflation)- Spring
Low inflation (or Deflation) - Summer
High economic growth - Autumn
Low economic growth - Winter"

We look and how each asset class is likely to perform in each of the economic seasons.
