Thematic Paper 15.10.2021 Shifts & Narratives #10 - China is finally emerging from the US’s shadow

Today, with developed market equities highly correlated and bond yields remaining subdued, investors are searching for other sources of income.

Thematic Paper 16.09.2021 Shifts & Narratives #8 - Post-summer check-up on the regime shift

Investors have enjoyed stellar performances over the last twelve months. A 60/40 traditional global equity/bond portfolio returned around 19% on a one-year horizon, well above even the rosiest expectations of the recovery from the Covid-19-induced slump. The S&P 500 is up +100% from last year’s bottom – an iconic figure that says a lot about the buoyant market sentiment.

Thematic Paper 14.06.2021 Shifts & Narratives #7 - Opening the Pandora’s box of social risks: Consequences for investors

The Covid-19 crisis can be considered a turning point for social issues: it has put global socio-economic inequalities in the spotlight and made them more concrete than ever before.

Thematic Paper 8.06.2021 Shifts & Narratives #5 - A unique crisis that opens the way to multiple regime shifts

The Covid-19 crisis is exceptional in many ways. It is the most serious health crisis since the Spanish flu a century ago. This crisis resulted in an unprecedented contraction of activity in 2020 and in the deepest global recession since World War II. However, this recession has been the shortest and was not accompanied by a financial crisis thanks to fiscal and monetary policy responses, which have cushioned the economic shock.

The Conference of the Parties (COP)26 in Glasgow has been hailed as a turning point in the global fight regarding climate change amid a new US administration and a long and strenuous exit from the Covid-19 pandemic.
