The day after #11 - Post-crisis narratives that will drive financial markets

Today, investors have a unique opportunity to observe the spreading of a real virus alongside the viral nature of financial markets and the real economy. As Nobel Prizewinning economist Robert Shiller points out in his book, Narrative Economics: How Stories Go Viral and Drive Major Economic Events, “stories and images are created around new economic events”1. In some cases, these stories are memories of the past and their spreading can have major implications regarding economic and financial markets.

Back to school, back to politics?

The macro-economic backdrop has improved, albeit at a slower pace more recently. The European response to the crisis has further strengthened investor sentiment. However, the political picture has changed over the summer in the US and deteriorated in emerging markets.

Looking for hidden ESG gems: a new frontier for responsible investing with “improvers”

The ongoing Covid-19 crisis and the resulting market turmoil have confirmed a pre-existing trend within equity investing: the increasing relevance ofintegrating ESG criteria andsustainability into the investmentdecision. We believe doing so will add value both in terms of being able to deliver better risk-adjusted return, but also in terms of helping to put focus on - and ultimately improve - important ESG parameters for companies and society.

Investing in the first in, first out theme: opportunities in Asia

The Case for US Equities in Global Portfolios

As you construct and monitor client portfolios, we hope you find our Blue Paper informative, insightful and rather complementary to your ongoing due diligence and asset allocation endeavors – both for the balance of 2020 and in the long-run. Recognizing the presence of potential constraints you might encounter through the lens of existing investment guidelines, the composition of your benchmarks, regional exposures, or investment styles, we believe the findings of our research suggest the consideration of US equities for inclusion in either regionally or globally-focused portfolios, to help raise the odds of longer-term risk-adjusted outperformance in client portfolios. The latter is informed by our analysis and what we deem secular—rather than merely cyclical— tailwinds for US equity markets.

The New Silk Road routes: Why investors should care

The global outbreak of Covid-19 has brought the world and its economy to a standstill, highlighting the importance of sustainable and resilient infrastructure (healthcare, water, power, telecommunications). Countries with fragile infrastructure have less capacity to handle crises, so they will need to increase their infrastructure investments. This is especially crucial in the context of health security and rapid urbanisation.
