INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

Mid-year 2023

Our mid-year 2023 investment outlook for navigating market trends and portfolio opportunities.

Worst case avoided

While challenges remain, the worst-case scenario for the economy looks to have been avoided, which should be positive for equities.

Mind the gap

Winners and losers in each sector will diverge further. Understanding what you own is more important than ever – in equities and fixed income.

Shock absorption

True diversification is crucial in an uncertain world. Alternative asset classes can play this 'shock absorber' role - both in defensive and proactive positioning.

Time for a portfolio pivot?

As the global economy resets, we believe nimble investors - including those willing to deviate from their benchmark - will make the most of the opportunity to pivot their portfolios from defense to offense.
