Humor: Past Performance is...

To protect (!) the customer more and more, investment funds feel the need  - or are obligated - to communicate about the expectation of their funds' future return.

One of the most used non- or disinformation statements funds use, is the line:

Past performance is no guarantee of future results

A general lesson is that all prefab communication lines and static communication tools are doomed tot fail, as communication is context and time dependent.


Models
Just as Communication, your Actuarial, Investment or Financial Models are also context (economic, fiscal, ethics) and time dependent.


Change them upfront, as 'performance of yesterday's models is no guarantee for the future.....'  ;-)
