  • Identifying the challenges and opportunities of building resilient portfolios that can benefit from change.
  • Thinking about the macroeconomic landscape from both a structural (5 – 10 year plus) and cyclical (12 – 24 months) time horizon.
  • The structural thematic roadmap (Road to 2030) looks to identify major long term macroeconomic themes and trends, both tailwinds and headwinds.
  • The shorter term cyclical framework focuses on growth, inflation and policy across major economies.
  • In constructing resilient portfolios, we focus on both top-down asset allocation and asset class preferences, and bottom-up security selection, as this provides greater control over risk management and the blending of opportunities.
  • We have moderated our investment outlook, reflecting our more cautious cyclical views following the scaling back of last year’s very accommodative monetary policy environment.
