What impact does the name of your street have on the value of your property?

New analysis of house prices by property website Zoopla has found homes with the words Warren or Chase in their address tend to be the most expensive.

Fund manager Mark Yusko, the chief investment officer of $3.7 billion Morgan Creek Capital Management, shared the 10 things he thinks could surprise the market in 2016.

In a presentation at Inside ETFs Conference in Florida, Yusko predicted that one or more of the developed markets, including the US, Europe, and Japan, could slip into a recession.

He also thinks the US Federal Reserve will have discussions about another round of quantitative easing in the second half of 2016.

What are your investment market predictions for the year ahead? Do you agree with Mark Yusko?
