There’s a lot that’s happened over the past seven years, but throughout that time we’ve been delivering the Axiom to subscribers, providing the Annex team’s perspective on what’s happening in the world.  

It’s hard to remember what happened in which year, so we’ve created a short list of what the world looked like in the year the Axiom was created. 

Here are some other things that happened and were going on in 2016: 

• • Barack Obama was president 
  • Spotlight won best picture at the 88th Academy Awards 
  • The Dow Jones posted a 13.6% gain for the year 
  • The giant panda was no longer classified as “endangered” 
  • Andy Murray was Wimbledon champion 
  • Unemployment fell to 4.6% in November, the lowest since the recession 
  • Hamilton took off on Broadway 
  • The Cubs won the World Series, ending a 108-year drought 

Thank you for reading and listening to our team these past seven years! We look forward to continuing to provide you with our insights and knowledge.
