Today’s guest is Jim Reid, Global Head of Macro Research at Deutsche Bank.
In today’s episode, Jim walks through lessons from his annual report, The Ultimate Guide to Long-Term Investing, which covers over 200 years of market data from 56 countries. He explains why cash is one of the riskiest long-term assets, how inflation quietly destroys wealth, and why valuation is the single most reliable predictor of long-term returns. He also discusses how fiat money has reshaped bonds, gold, and equities since 1971.
To close, Jim reminds us that history consistently rewards investors who buy cheap, diversify globally, and respect long-term market cycles.
