What kind of role does private markets play in building a resilient portfolio in the post-Covid world? Mike explains.

We favor U.S. stocks to their other developed market peers over the next six to 12 months. Why? The U.S. policy response to the coronavirus shock has been decisive and comprehensive, and has exceeded the scale of policy action in other major developed economies. We expect more to come.

Mike explains why it may be prudent re-balancing your portfolio – outside the usual calendar – after the recent market turbulence.

A déjà vu of 2008 in markets lately? Mike explains why we think the coronavirus shock should not spark a 2008-style crisis.

A decisive and coordinated policy action is key to combat the economic fallout from the coronavirus outbreak. Mike explains why.

Mike shares how we are updating views on global growth and asset allocation as the coronavirus spreads across the world.

The coronavirus outbreak has altered market dynamics since late January – including in the space of equity style factors. One example, Quality has posted more muted gains after strong outperformance in late 2019. We stand by our tactical views on factors for now, including a modest overweight on quality.

Mike explains how our global outlook has evolved with the developing coronavirus outbreak.

The coronavirus outbreak that started in China has sent jitters across global financial markets amid fears of a hit to the global economy. We think it is too early to assess the eventual impact on the economy yet see potential downside risks posed by the outbreak – with its unknown magnitude and duration. This underpins our view that U.S. Treasuries provide a source of portfolio resilience.

The fourth quarter of 2019 kicked off with a market selloff and more evidence that a protectionist push is hitting the U.S. industrial sector. How are our asset views faring this year to date–and what are the key themes we see shaping markets in the months ahead?
