The post-COVID world comes into focus

In a post-COVID world, some shocks have faded while others will likely endure. These changes will influence investing decisions for years to come.

Post-COVID changes will require significant adaptation – by individuals, firms, and policymakers.

We are struck by the impressive resilience of the global economy. But a return to normalcy is not an "all clear."

How COVID changed the landscape for investment and capital allocation

As the COVID era recedes, we can assess which pandemic shocks have faded and which will likely persist. The more we can clearly perceive these long-term changes, the more effectively we can allocate capital for the future.

The more permanent impacts of COVID will likely include:

  • Workplace technology will match labor and capital at a distance

  • Supply chains will become more diverse and resilient

  • To bring inflation back to target will require below-trend growth

  • Dense urban business districts will evolve or decay

  • Companies will see the benefits of positioning, pricing and policy support

How COVID-era birth, death, migration and participation rates affect labor and inflation

The lingering effects of the COVID pandemic on the labor supply and economy are not directly related to mortality, though millions of deaths caused incalculable human suffering. The impacts are indirect – but may be long-lasting.

  • COVID mortality did not affect the labor supply (most victims were not working); rather, COVID shrank labor supply through:
    • Surging early retirements
    • Long COVID’s impact on workers
    • Temporarily lower birthrates that will affect labor later
  • Lingering impacts (and constrained immigration) should push up wages
  • Flexible workplace tech may ease some pressures

The visible hand: Government is playing a stronger role in the economy

Post-COVID, fiscal policymaking has a more expansive vision of government intervention in the economy. A range of unprecedented supports are now in place.

  • COVID kickstarted unprecedented fiscal support, across developed economies
  • Support surged for health care, businesses and consumers, through central bank- financed deficits
  • Public spending is proving lasting on:
    • Medical research
    • Infrastructure
    • Shoring up valuable industries and supply chains
    • Subsidies designed to attract private capital

COVID rippled through work and home life, affecting offices, supply chains and housing

Work-from-home, an interim solution, proved lasting; rising e-commerce means deliveries to 150 million doorsteps; and demand for homes is surging during a shortage. What lies ahead for offices, supply chains and housing?

    COVID’s impacts include:

  • Obsolete office buildings have grown less viable vs. amenity rich “trophy” assets as hybrid work patterns have taken hold

  • Rising e-commerce requires massive warehouses at ports and highways, and logistics facilities near populations.

  • An ongoing housing shortage has put home buying out of reach for many younger adults, while creating an investment tailwind in single family rentals.
