Dear Reader, Under John Mauldin’s watch, the Strategic Investment Conference has grown into one of the most anticipated events of the year. But the inner workings of the SIC and its meteoric success have remained largely a mystery... until now. Today, John reveals his behind-the-scenes shaping of the SIC, how he chooses speakers for the SIC stage, and why attendees’ experience is different from every other conference out there. Click below to hear from John now. Tickets for the SIC 2017 are selling fast. This year’s theme, Paradigm Shift—A Destabilizing World, is resonating with everyone from savers, to retail investors, to financial professionals. It’s no wonder. The feeling dominating the first days of the Age of Trump—no matter which side of the divide you’re on—is uncertainty. Few people expected the markets to rally following a Trump victory... but they did. Few people expected President Trump to shoot out of the gate with a slew of executive orders... but he did. The TTP is dead, Dodd-Frank is under review, and President Trump has promised that whenever agencies introduce a regulation, they must abolish two others. If he keeps keeping his promises, we’re facing huge changes in everything from trade to tax policies to healthcare. But investors don’t know whether he’ll keep keeping his promises... or whether he’ll be able to push his reforms through—and, to reword the cliché, investors hate uncertainty. So do the professionals. According to the 2017 AFP Risk Survey, 84% of financial professionals say forecasting risk is as difficult or more difficult than it was three years ago. And the State Street Investor Confidence Index is down almost 10 points on its score this time last year. At the SIC 2017, some of the world’s top economic and geopolitical analysts will tackle this uncertainty head on, laying out big-picture trends and underlying patterns... and sharing ideas on how to capitalize on them. As the consequences of the changes rapidly implemented by the Trump administration unfold, some of the brightest minds in the world will be answering investors’ most pressing questions in Orlando this May.
