Landmines in the Field of Dreams
Whether the focus is on shares, property or other financial markets, we have entered an environment of low returns.

It is therefore more important than ever to find other avenues to generate alpha (the active return over an index). Every bit of alpha will be that much more valuable in a low return regime.
