In this episode Dan Kemp outlines the 2026 market picture: the twin risks of geopolitics and elevated valuations, and why investors should focus on long-term goals, valuation-driven expectations, and building robust, diversified portfolios. He explains common behavioural pitfalls, the Odysseus analogy for avoiding reactive moves, and how AI can best be used to scale behaviorally smart communication rather than replace judgment.

Key takeaways: pursue value (in assets, fees and taxes), prioritise real risks to future cash flows over short-term volatility, construct portfolios you can live with, and apply patience and disciplined independence to succeed over the long term.
