Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

You’ve seen or heard the phrase: “Past performance is not indicative of future results.” It’s required legalese for all investment marketing materials. Like most boilerplates, it exists to eliminate our excuses when things go sideways. The phrase is necessary because we have to make assumptions about the future.
