Anyone prognosticating on the future has likely heard the cliches “even a broken clock is right twice a day” and “every now and then a blind squirrel will find a nut”. The primary criticism directed at those who think about the future is that it’s an act of futility. The blunt reality is that accuracy cannot and should not be the criterion upon which to evaluate thinking about the future. Usefulness is a far better standard. Mechanical as it may be, thinking about various scenarios of how the future may unfold has proven to be among the most useful ways to make decisions amidst radical uncertainty.

I believe time allows signals to surface amidst the ubiquitous noise. In the spirit of Annie's "just thinking about tomorrow..." in which she pleads for us to "hang on 'til tomorrow, come what may," I present my 2021 predictions for the coming five years.

To succeed within the ever-shifting context in which investment decisions are made, investors should adopt a multi-lens approach. Context matters, and siloed thinking can be detrimental.
