Following a ‘bull market of galactic proportions’, this year’s falls across nearly all asset classes have made life difficult for many investors. The ultimate question – are we there yet?

Platinum Asset Management’s Julian McCormack has been vocal about the challenges ahead for global equities, and talks to:

  • Why earnings estimates remain ‘fanciful’
  • The strange bullishness in this bear market, and 
  • Why patience is a virtue for all investors.
