Expert: Andrew Brown shares some bold predictions for the year ahead

There’s always some kind of consensus for a calendar year ahead, but what’s surprising in 2022 is the HIGH degree of consensus in what is a very uncertain environment of virus, interest rates, inflation. Pretty much everyone is focused on inflation and the likely impact on interest rates.

Where earnings growth goes, so does the market. Given all the uncertainties, he suspects a tougher environment, and one where stock picking, not 'themes' will be more decisive.
