Thoughtful Money’s Fall online conference is now available for registration!
After four straight years of ~20% returns in the stock market, can we expect 2027 to continue the streak?
Or will growing uncertainty with weakening consumers, the sustainability of AI earnings, oil prices/inflation, bond yields, a broken housing system, and geopolitical tensions cause market returns to mean-revert?
The conference will focus on the following key questions:
How can savvy investors increase their odds for success with a more active strategy?
Which asset classes, sectors and companies look best positioned in this environment? Which ones are to be avoided?
Which macro trends are the most important ones to be focused on right now?
What are the experts’ top recommendations for investors?
With over 10 hours of presentations (+ live Q&A) from the top economists, analysts and professional investors in the world, our conference will focus on delivering actionable insights to all these questions.
And good news! This is the first time our conference has a sponsor: VanEck. Not only does this mean its CEO, the highly-respected Jan van Eck will present his top themes for Q4. But it also means you’ll have the chance to receive premium VanEck research leading up the event.
The conference will take place online, on Saturday October 17, 2026.
Don’t worry if you can’t watch the event live. Replay videos of all of the presentations and all of the Q&A sessions will be emailed within 24 hours afterwards to everyone who registers for the event.
