Hi Aris, Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. Global inflation has slowed in the last two years, however the path to disinflation and lower interest rates remains uneven across countries. Will 2025 bring soft or hard economic landings? Our lead article this week is the global summary of Vanguard's economic and market outlook for 2025. It highlights the top-level findings of our full economic and market outlook, titled Beyond the Landing, which will be published in December. In our second article, Vanguard's Senior Personal Finance Writer, Tony Kaye, looks at some of the fears that often hold people back from starting their investment journey, and discusses ways to overcome these barriers. Lastly, Vanguard's investment strategist, Maziar Nikpour, details why short-term tactical portfolio changes are risky and why using a strategic asset allocation (SAA) approach has a much higher chance of achieving investment success. | |
