Oxymoron of the Year: The Simply Difficult |
In the recent past, for the markets, policy was king and economics took a back seat. As the US and the global economy attempts to graduate to a normal, more mature phase, economics will lead again. The adjustment to this new reality looks to be painful. Economy-wise, this year is expected to be better than the past. Markets-wise, it is turning out to be more difficult. Our investment picks employee a combination of investment directives aimed at overcoming this difficult year. Among our top investment picks is Greece, which fits our desire for idiosyncratic and patient risk-positioning. |

Staying invested despite some volatility |
A synchronised global recovery is still on track, despite some recent disappointing data on growth, and support a broad overweight in risk assets. 2014 so far was more positive for traditional fixed income than expected, but medium term outlook is still challenging for duration government bonds and rates are expected to rise. The global outlook of gradual recovery and low rates will continue to be a favorable environment for equities, but with some volatility that implies a more selective approach. The changing financial landscape for investors heightens the need for a more flexible and balanced investment approach. |
