Investing in Chaotic Times
A webinar by Alex Cook
The world has navigated profound shifts in recent years, from the global impact of the COVID pandemic to the far-reaching consequences of the war in Ukraine. These events have ushered in an era of heightened economic volatility, with significant inflation impacting nations worldwide.
We’ve seen periods when figures, like America experiencing inflation north of 7%—a 40-year high at the time—starkly illustrated this challenge. Australia and other Western countries have also grappled with unusually high inflation, meaning cash often yields a negative real return. Compounding this, geopolitical tensions continue to drive higher energy and food prices, burdening the poor and middle class heavily.
So, how do you invest, protect, and potentially grow your capital in a world that often feels increasingly unpredictable? In these moments, we believe that timeless wisdom, including that found in scripture, offers invaluable guidance. As the Bible advises in Ecclesiastes 11:2, “But divide your investments among many places, for you do not know what risks might lie ahead.” This principle of diversification and prudent risk management is more relevant than ever, and it forms a cornerstone of our approach to navigating these challenging times.
This insightful 1-hour webinar aims to equip you with clarity and actionable strategies. You will learn to: gain a deeper understanding of the current global environment and what historical precedents can teach us; discover practical ways to minimise your investment risk; explore how the Bible speaks to the principles of investing; identify methods for investing for income, even when traditional interest rates offer little; embrace a kingdom approach to wealth creation; and ultimately, learn how to find opportunities even in a seemingly chaotic world.
