Every quarter, our fund managers analyse trends in the global economy and financial markets. Read their views on the second quarter of 2022.

Macroeconomic environment

  • A significant slowdown in the global economy is on the horizon.
  • Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is exacerbating the inflationary pressures that were already widespread before the outbreak of the conflict.
  • The Federal Reserve now considers the fight against inflation to be its top priority.


Financial markets

  • The environment for the financial markets has deteriorated.
  • In a more inflationary environment, equities are better placed than bonds to protect investors’ purchasing power.
  • Asian markets appear to be attractively valued.
