    The One Thing All Investors Miss: Watching Out for the X-Factor
    Feb 18 2025
    What if I told you the single biggest threat—or opportunity—for your wealth creation journey could be something you never saw coming? In today’s episode, Simon Kuestenmacher and I explore the concept of X-Factors—unexpected events that can significantly impact businesses, investments, and lives. Over the past two decades, we’ve seen plenty of them—from the devastating Global Financial Crisis (GFC) to the COVID-19 pandemic, from global wars to record-breaking migration levels. So today we explore how these X factors, big and small, have impacted the Australian property market and the economy at large. We reflect on historical events, the role of AI, interest rates, and demographic changes, emphasizing the importance of understanding these factors to navigate future uncertainties. Takeaways Historical events provide valuable lessons for future predictionsX-Factors are unexpected events that can disrupt economies.Some X factors are local—like government policy changes, interest rate hikes, or a surge in foreign investment. Others are global in nature, stemming from geopolitical events, technological revolutions, or social upheavals.While it’s essential to take a long-term view, you must always prepare for the unexpected.AI is a significant modern X-Factor affecting all industries.Political decisions can create unexpected economic outcomes.Forecasting requires humility and an understanding of complexity.Demographics play a crucial role in economic forecasting.Embracing uncertainty can lead to better decision-making.
