Investing in a post Covid world – how investing opportunities have changed

Covid has changed the world as we know it – international travel has all but stopped, central business districts have emptied and restaurants have closed. At the same time, tech stocks are at record highs and investors have enjoyed a spectacular bounce from the sharemarkets’ lows in March.

• Why corporate travel may never return to previous levels
• Which sectors of the economy – and market – will continue to thrive
• Technological innovation beyond the majors
• The risks of stimulus withdrawal
• Why equities continue to offer value relative to bonds and
• His greatest concerns for the economy and the market in post Covid world.
