Global outlook

Global Asset Allocation Viewpoints, 1Q 2023

Major central banks have now decelerated their tightening, but this isn’t a precursor to a less hawkish stance. The stubborn inflation story means that policy rates are rising further and will not be cut, even as recession takes hold. Against this backdrop, broad equities will likely remain challenged.

Investing during high inflation

The Fed was caught behind the curve, and will need aggressive hikes to slow demand, and thus, inflation.

Inflation, rising rates, and market volatility

Inflation is the single biggest challenge that investors face today. The sudden and sustained jump in prices has inflicted a considerable shock to the economic system, sharply pushing up interest rates, while challenging corporations and equity markets. For individuals, inflation quietly erodes the purchasing power of savings and cash, a significant problem, regardless of time horizon. For institutional investors, higher-than-expected inflation reduces real returns and makes it difficult to generate long-term forecasts to meet objectives.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Asset allocation and diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

There is no guarantee that any risk mitigation strategy will successfully protect against a loss in down markets.
