The latest in our Investment Committee Webinars series.
In this presentation – The Age of Empires; rebuilding in a diverging world – Fidelity’s James Bird will embark on an exploration of the big economic cycle, tracing its evolution throughout history and analysing its profound impact on global order.
First presented at our recent Investment Committee Seminar, we are delighted that James has agreed to present this session again via this Webinar, which will open your eyes on the new world order and how that may affect the investment choices you make for your clients.
By examining key historical events, from tulip mania to the railroad bond frenzy to the big tech bubble, James will consider how shifts in economic paradigms have influenced geopolitical dynamics.
Ttransitioning to the contemporary landscape, he will identify recent changes in the world order, particularly in response to globalisation, technological advancement, and shifting political alliances. These factors are reshaping market conditions, creating both challenges and opportunities for investors.
James will look at the effects a diverging world has on asset classes like fixed income and equities, highlighting the strategies that it is believed can enhance investment portfolios in this evolving environment.
By the end of the session, we hope paraplanners will have gained further insights into economic cycles, current market trends, and investment strategies designed to navigate the complexities of today’s financial landscape.
Learning outcomes:
-Describe how the big economic cycle can influence a change in the world order
