How to prepare for a ‘doomsday scenario’

10 years into the recovery, and with valuations close to or at historical highs, there’s little denying that we’re getting late in the cycle. However, Amit Lodha, Portfolio Manager at the Fidelity Global Equities Fund, says that valuations are only half the story.

• The margin of safety is low when investing at this point in the cycle.
