2026-2030 The Stale Renaissance

Capital Market Assumptions

We are pleased to launch the 15th edition of our Capital Market Assumptions 2026-2030. We’re in both an age of enlightenment and an age of turmoil. The progression embodied in artificial intelligence is being met with the regression of incoherent and threatening policies from the US. That’s why we’ve called this year’s edition of Expected Returns ‘The Stale Renaissance’ to reflect this paradox.
