BloombergQuint’s Big Decisions podcast gets you the insights you need to make big money decisions with confidence.

Risk assets the world over are rising from strength to strength in a massive bull run that has some market watchers wondering if an end is in sight. But if you had asked those same people for their prognosis of markets in March this year, you may have received very different answers.

Predictions about the directions markets will take are usually fraught with uncertainty. But they have proved to be even more susceptible to failure over the past year.

Investors who panicked when equity markets crashed in March and sold were caught out by the sharp rebound. Many of the same investors then predicted that the gains would be short-lived and remained on the sidelines for most of the rally that has taken equity markets to record highs.

On this BQ Big Decisions podcast, BloombergQuint speaks to Prashant Joshi, co-founder and partner of Fintrust Advisors, about the biggest learnings from 2020 when it comes to investment strategies and portfolio construction. Joshi also discusses his outlook for the new year.
