Investing for the Long Run: Navigating Crises in a Low Risk Way

John Gilbert presented his in-depth investment thesis on navigating crises in a low risk way at European Investing Summit 2012.

For long-term investors, the European crisis is just another in a string of crises throughout history. While the European crisis presents its own set of challenges, the resulting craze for so-called safe assets – be it government bonds of the major economies or high-flying “blue-chip” equities – is an unlikely solution for investors mindful to preserve purchasing power over time. In this session, John Gilbert highlights what really matters for long-term investors, how to avoid getting blind-sided by unintended consequences, and which investment strategies prudent stewards of capital should adopt in the current environment.
