Our IVI Portfolio Managers Ken Tremain and Chris Eagle will discuss their views on topics including:
- Since March 2020 global central banks have engaged in a coordinated loosening of monetary conditions which coupled with fiscal stimulus has significantly impacted the valuations of ALL assets whilst increasing speculative risk appetite.
- This “ liquidity regime” is ending as national policy response diverge driven by domestic economic and inflation data, geo-political and political pressure. The impact on the valuations of assets will be profound. 2022 will be a very different investment climate compared to 2020/21.
- The themes that will drive markets in Q1 2022, look at the potential leaders and laggards in monetary/fiscal policy tightening and highlight key implications as financial markets enter a period of higher return volatility.
