• Do portfolios need to be built differently?

  This episode looks at the investment implications of inflation being more volatile and uncertain over the next decade. According to our guest, Tom Hibbert, multi-asset strategist at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management, such a backdrop would make it more challenging for 60/40 portfolios (60% in shares and 40% in bonds) to deliver a good return. The renowned 60/40 investment strategy has served investors well over the past couple of decades except in 2022. Hibbert covers what investors should consider in terms of asset allocation on a 10-year view. On The Money is an interactive investor (ii) podcast.
