Morningstar warns: Preparation, not prediction, will shape 2026

What does it really take to navigate 2026 without falling into the prediction traps that derail so many investors? In this final Mind Over Markets with Morningstar episode on Money, Markets, and Masterminds, Citywire South Africa sits down with Dan Kemp, Chief Research and Investment Officer at Morningstar to unpack the firm’s flagship Morningstar 2026 Global Outlook.
From the dangers of overconfidence and the behavioural pitfalls triggered by uncertainty, to the rise of AI-driven concentration, shifting currency valuations and where genuine value is emerging across South Africa, the UK and China, this conversation cuts through the noise and focuses on what matters most: preparation.
If you want a clear, grounded framework for the year ahead – one that helps you keep clients invested, disciplined and resilient – you will not want to miss this episode.
