Episode Details

There is an old and much-quoted saying by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus: “A man never steps in the same river twice” – because it is not the same river and it is not the same man. A very similar observation could be made about investors considering their portfolios as the pandemic, hopefully, begins to wane. Covid-19, and the policy choices it triggered, changed the economic and financial landscape in a significant manner. However, it also changed investors, leaving them, for the most part, with larger portfolios but also with portfolios that are more seriously out of balance.
