Who is florence gaub and why does she matter to investors?

Florence Gaub is a strategic foresight expert and Spiegel-bestselling author of Zukunft. Her core idea is that the future is shaped by choices, not fate. Investors can use her structured thinking to build scenarios, set triggers, and make calmer, data-based decisions in changing markets.

What is foresight investing in simple terms?

Foresight investing means writing two or three realistic future paths, noting how each affects your holdings, and setting pre-planned actions. It replaces guesswork with clear rules. You review monthly, update the paths, and adjust risk and allocations only when your triggers fire.

How can I start scenario planning with little time?

List three drivers that matter to you, like ECB policy, euro strength, and energy prices. Write two paths for each driver and link them to portfolio moves. Keep it to one page. Review monthly, record decisions, and keep your watchlist small so it stays doable.

What signals should German retail investors watch in 2025?

Focus on a short set: ECB comments, euro trend, wage growth, power and gas prices, and guidance from major European companies. Add your personal cash needs and loan costs. Fewer, clearer signals make it easier to act on your plan and avoid emotional decisions.
