Helping investors traverse financial markets and build their wealth during the peaks and troughs is Janus Henderson Investors head of Australia Matt Gaden's game plan. He tells Karren Vergara why in this long game of investing, active management wins.
Uh, let's see...a senior fellow from the Cato Institute, originally founded as the Charles Koch Foundation, has a very critical opinion of Fed policy and adds a cheap shot at regulations and taxes on his way out. Yeah, never saw that coming.
No impact?? Spare me! US equity markets are at record highs while economic growth continues to be soggy - no risk there. Double digit gains in residential property - didn't we re-remember property was a "real" (inflation related asset) after the crash?
The biggest impact is that returns from most assets look set to be low for a decade (with the cash hurdle rate being so low). This will impact people saving for retirement. QE is not a victimless crime!
