Investors may find out soon that medium-term returns will be much below expectations after the current trend caused by QE expires. If this scenario materializes, then investors will have to return to the old way of finding a good financial adviser that can suggest a portfolio mix and pick securities that will appreciate in value. In some cases, the adviser will be an AI program and this process will be executed online.
