Despite the rollercoaster ride the global economy took in 2020 investors would, in most cases have been rewarded for doing nothing. After the initial crash, markets eventually moved higher, buoyed by unprecedented fiscal and monetary support, enabling most investor who had been paralyzed by inertia to end the year fairly well compensated.
As we make our way through the relatively calmer stages of the pandemic, investors might think the same playbook will reward them again. We think this is unlikely to be the case, and inertia will no longer be their friend.

Find out the 5 key challenges we have identified facing NFP investors and how they may look to address them.
There are certainly challenges ahead, but many potential solutions, too. Now is time to be bold with decisions and plan for a long-term investment portfolio that does not rely on inactivity and good fortune to produce the results you need.
