How AI Will Impact Your Investments w/ Vanguard's Joe Davis #1061

Author: iHeartPodcasts November 12, 2025 Duration: 53:08

Everywhere you look, people are talking about AI. Some say it’s going to save the world; others think it might break it. But while the headlines focus on sci-fi futures and big-tech battles, we’re interested in something a little closer to home: what does all of this actually mean for us as everyday, DIY investors – today, and over the next decade? Fortunately, we don’t have to wing it. Vanguard’s global chief economist, Joseph Davis, has been studying the forces shaping our financial future – AI included. And in his new book, Coming Into View, he breaks down the megatrends that are poised to reshape the investing landscape. Today we discuss:

  • How Vanguard's mission focuses on aligning investor interests with their work
  • Predictions about lower future returns are based on economic fundamentals
  • AI's impact on productivity will extend beyond the tech sector
  • Cost management in investments is crucial for long-term success
  • Demographics alone do not determine economic growth outcomes
  • The importance of diversification in investment portfolios remains unchanged
  • Investors should stress-test their financial goals against potential market scenarios
  • And much more!
