Now that we have finished the first decade of the 21st century, what is in store for investors the next 10 years? Find out why the principals of Pring Turner Capital Group believe investors should prepare for “another lost decade” and what market benchmarks will look like when we have reached the end of this current secular bear market. Why is the business cycle more critical than ever for investors and where are markets in relation to the current business cycle? Valuable insights, original research and experience drawn on by our guest speaker, Tom Kopas, a principal at Pring Turner Capital Group, are all part of the concepts covered in this timely presentation. Tom will discuss what asset allocation decisions will bring investors profitably through this cycle, and where the risks and opportunities are for investors now and in the coming months and years.
