Central banks and politicians around the world sought to save their economies from the GFC with unconventional monetary policy over a decade ago.

Fidelity International’s Anthony Doyle offers his thoughts on this and more, including:

• Which markets offer the most promising long term outlook
• Why investors can’t afford to sit on the sidelines
• How to allocate wealth in a negative interest rate environment and
• Why Australian equities may still offer value in a recession.
