28 April 2026 · 18:21 min

In this episode of Business Talk, Michael Avery speaks with Wendy Myers, Head of PSG Securities, about how investors should rethink their strategies in a rapidly changing global market environment. With geopolitical tensions rising and the era of ultra-low interest rates fading, Myers unpacks how… the post-2008 “buy growth” playbook delivered strong returns—and why that approach may no longer be enough. She explains how liquidity, low rates, and tech dominance shaped portfolios over the past decade, and what investors need to understand as markets transition into a new regime.

The conversation shifts to practical guidance on building resilient portfolios for the future, with a focus on diversification, geographic rebalancing, and managing risk. Myers highlights the importance of reducing overexposure to US markets, exploring opportunities in Europe and emerging economies, and incorporating assets like gold, REITs, and commodities as hedges against volatility. She also stresses the value of long-term thinking, disciplined rebalancing, and working with a financial advisor to navigate uncertainty—offering a clear roadmap for investors looking to thrive over the next decade.
