The tiny teens – welcome to a lower, slower world of growth, interest rates, inflation and quite probably returns.

The decimal point seems to have shifted as all the expectations for the future seem to have got significantly smaller. So welcome then to the ‘Tiny Teens’, where most economic and financial numbers will seem to be smaller and experts will tell you no doubt that size isn’t that important. Well it is and they will be wrong. This decade is going to be much harder to provide the same level of returns without some radical thinking by the investment industry to reduce its costs and manage both its asset allocation and investment structure even more carefully.
