The pin that popped the bubble
Global equity markets delivered the best calendar-year return of the decade in 2019. Many markets were at or near all-time highs.

At the time of recording this podcast COVID-19 had claimed the lives of over 50 000 people worldwide. Within days that figure had increased by tens of thousands. This landscape is ever changing.
