Quarterly Insights Series: A different foundational landscape
In our latest Quarterly Insights Series, our Chief Investment Officer, George Toubia outlines some important market observations which have been brought into focus, along with the application to our investment themes. These observations include:
- distinguishing between the short and longer term interest rate outlook
- changing expectations in sector performance for equities
- geographic vulnerabilities and divergences in regions such as Europe and China, and
- the path of the valuation adjustment in real estate sectors and the outlook through the interplay of bond yields.
