Perspectives 2/2022

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.
