The world has changed, and through necessity so has the world of investing.
“Unfortunately, a lot of investors have built up expectations of investing returns based on the returns of the past,” says Jay Jacobs, director of research at New York-based fund-management company Global X.
He points to slowing population and economic growth in the U.S. as part of the reason that investing returns in the future likely won’t mirror those of the post-World War II period. “There’s a growing mismatch between expectations and what is needed to reach retirement goals,” he says. Put more simply, the investing ideas that worked in the past likely need to be reworked.
For example, now that people are living longer, aging likely will lead to “a more proactive approach to health and wellness,” says Jacobs. For investors, that may mean looking for investments centered on what is expected to be the growing need and demand for specialty health services.
