We tend to think of our world in linear terms, where the output of a system is proportional and directly correlated to its inputs.
The conundrum for investors these days is the trade-off between the value of quality and price to pay for it.

~Mark Twain
‘Twas the week before Christmas, so let's have some fun. Mawer recaps the main themes of 2021.
How an engineering principle can improve investment risk management.
We explore the evolution of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and the notable economic ideas on which it is based. We highlight some notable criticisms and discuss implications of MMT for economic policy and financial markets. Our purpose is less focused on opining whether MMT is fundamentally sound, but rather aimed at understanding its development and how the ground may shift if indeed MMT-based policies are more widely embraced.
I’ve been revisiting Philip Fisher’s Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits recently. Scanning the opportunity set in emerging markets, I’ve been trying to imagine what Fisher would have made of the current investment landscape.
‘Twas the week before Christmas, (and you know it’s true), COVID looms large in our annual review.
The onset of autumn means ‘tis time for some recommended reads.
Howard Marks sent a memo; Ray Dalio explained the last 500 years as they related to empires and reserve currencies; we learned a new word, “shoshin”; and scanned a lot of charts about U.S. advertising revenue trends.
Back in March, as physical distancing practices were being implemented globally, I was bemused by contrasting provocatively titled articles published within a day of one another.
