Kerr Neilson, the legendary contrarian investor behind Platinum, lays out a bold case for why the next decade may belong not to AI darlings.
He argues markets are entering a period of profound disruption, pointing to geopolitical fragmentation, war in the Middle East, and fragile global oil supply as long-term threats- warning these forces are reshaping markets.
Beyond the macro themes, he offers practical insights for advisers: the dangers of crowded trades, the inefficiencies created by passive investing, and the importance of contrarian thinking in an ETF-dominated world.
His message is clear. The biggest opportunities often lie where capital has been scarce.
